Acrylic painting #2

Another painting by me during 2010.

Acrylic painting

This painting was done during October 2010, during some of the darkest days of my life. I am glad life has a way of healing everything with time, and that i have a hobby which not only is relaxing for the mind but also translates our emotions into something tangible.

My niece!!


This May, i visited Aruna Akka and her family in Fremont,CA. Last time i saw her was during her wedding in 1999, I was in 10th grade then. Almost a decade has passed by and the new members of her family are - Nithya and Nithin, my niece and my nephew!

This portrait that i tried was of Nithya, i didnot take much effort..nor did i spend time on making it look exactly like her. I was a bit tired after all the travel and also a bit lazy. (Being in 4th grade, i knew she would appreciate watever i draw):P

A friend indeed!


Along the path of life,
Of the many friends you make,
Some disappear on a strife,
And some, you forsake.

Very few stay,
Joyous at your victory,
Hopeful at your dismay,
and guide you to be earthy
.
If you have already found one,
Hold them over for dear life.
Money wont buy you a better bargain,
Nor will it ease the grief.

They may be away by a mile,
But memories will bring back the smile.

---- Jesma Mohan
P.s. The rhyme scheme which i chose for this poem was that of an English sonnet. ie,
(/ represents a new stanza): a-b-a-b / c-d-c-d / e-f-e-f / g-g
The form is often named after Shakespeare, not because he was the first to write in this form but because he became its most famous practitioner. The form consists of three quatrains and a couplet. The third quatrain generally introduces an unexpected sharp thematic or imagistic "turn" called a volta.
