I’m not a trained in any of the fine arts, but I love all of them. Painting, sculpture, mixed media, street art… everything.
What began as a passing interest during my post-graduation days in the early 1990s, has developed into a passion. Today, I see art everywhere around me and beyond the obvious — in a flower arrangement, a clothes line, a shop window, fruit and vegetable display in a market, books in a bookshelf…
As with most things on my blog, I never intended to write about art, but eventually it proved irresistible.
Here’s a listing of all the arty-farty posts I have written till date. For convenience sake, I have arranged then under various headings:)
