Cecilia Gallerani (Lady with the Ermine)

Here's my immitation of leonardo da vinci's lady with the ermine.

As sources say, da vinci probably painted her at a time when she was the mistress of Lodovico Sforza, Duke of Milan and Leonardo was in the service of the Duke.

I wonder how he might have received this wonderful piece of his in poster colors ;]

Da Vinci Eye

 Ever notice how Mona Lisa always stars at you? 

This is the famed illusion. It's an eye that follows you no matter which direction.

Yeah Right, I am rubbish at Anamorphic painting. 

And Mine's Just an ordinary painting. It does not follow you, not a wee bit. 

Never mind, 

I'll definitely learn all the geometry concepts behind it and give it another shot later some time. For Sure.

Coke Mona

I have always liked the splash coke art 

such as this and this and this one too.

Aand since I was feeling super creative today, I ended up painting a coke splash including this 24 years old lady. 

Hope you like this version of mona as much as you did the hardrock one.

Hard Rock Mona

Since my last post, I was waiting impatiently to post my rock version of Mona Lisa. It was not exactly easy to paint Mona Lisa but i found the entire process quite interesting. And all this has forced me to paint more and funnier versions of her. 

Here's a glimpse into what I will be posting in an hour. 

Da Vinci ♥

Da Vinci fever's terribly all High today. I just ended a poster dedicated to leonardo's Art and Science. Its more of a sketch though. You know, He was one strange guy. Ever see his journals? From helicopters and pumps, to old man faces and robots. Oh, and eyes.

let me know if I did any justice to the great man.

I have painted the hard rock version of mona lisa as well. But lets keep her for my next post. You should feel free to give your ideas about other versions you want me to paint.

Happy Da Vinci-ing :D

p.s, my net was acting mad for a while but I just got it fixed today.

You have no idea, what I went through for not posting anything up for this long time. It felt bad, really bad. Or Since Im deeply and madly in love with art's my life, it felt immensely bad.

Thundering sound and elaborate embellishments -

Since I was a kid, 

the only thing that amused me on roadtrips was a truck, or specifically the pakistani truck.

It has always seemed so elegant to my eyes. I ponder how does the driver feel like sitting in that decorated cabin. There's this chrome door he could open and close, there are these colorful nightingale paintings and silklaces above his head and then, there's this royal crown on top.

I wish I could paint all my stuff in the very same colors as those used in painting the hills, rivers and falcons on the majestic body. 

and I also wish to fit in the driving seat for once in my life. I truly wish. The experience will be phenomenal. I will be sitting among all those bright things. Things that capture my mind every time the pressure horn is pressed alerting my senses that your love's making his presence on road and I move my head out of the window in curiosity.

Fireflight's songs are all incredible and relate to our lives in every aspect. 

They brought me out of my darkest days with their amazing music over a year ago, and to this day they continue to inspire me.  

This is for those who wait

Another day, another waiting game

A little different but it's still the same

I am here, but where's the one I'm longing for?

I'm having trouble feeling all alone

Will my heart ever find a home?

I want to hope but sometimes I just don't know

I know I'm not the only one

So we sing a lullaby to the lonely hearts tonight

Let it set your heart on fire, let it set you free

When you're fighting to believe

In a love that you can't see

Just know there is a purpose

For those who wait

I want to open up my eyes

I know that all I need is time

I'm growing stronger every single day

God, I'm going to lean into You now

Letting go of all my fear and doubt

I can't do this on my own so I'll give You control

I know I'm not the only one

The pressure makes us stronger

The struggle makes us hunger

The hard lessons make the difference

The pressure makes us stronger

The struggle makes us hunger

The hard lessons make the difference

And the difference makes it worth it

“You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way”~ Lady Gaga

I used to believe that this women was  unique.

Since I have always loved people who  are different, who you can spot out from a millions, I did like her a lot.  Plus, Her Songs were really quirky, starting off with head banging awesomeness which I listened for hours. But the  catch word is, Did. I don’t like her anymore…maybe because of the freemasonry stuff surrounding all her hype. 

 Its sucks bad,

When the person you aspire from,

Turns out to be one of those you hate to bits.

Now, I don’t listen to her anymore  and I believe I am doing the right thing.

P.S: The bright colors in my paintings of her, reflect how I used to feel about her~Joylicious!

A bit of inspiration.

Just read this beautiful

and so very true quote at

Shannon Eileen's blog. I thought It was worth sharing.

“We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected.”

Welcome To My Blog!

Hello friends,

I have decided to start a blog. If anything, I figure it will be a way for me to keep a record what I have been upto. You see, I am the sort of person that when someone asks what I have been doing with myself, I can barely answer without looking at my calendar!

So, I've never written a blog before but there's always a first time to everything, blogging is no different.Maybe I'll turn into one of those avid bloggers and have lots of followers and create controversies and… haha okay, I must not get carried away. The reason I've decided to start this blog is because I want to share something I really believe in: Art, my life, My Obsession.

Who am I? -Yeah, I'm a girl. Seventeen. Self taught painter. With a Huge passion for art- I eat, sleep and dream of it.

My pieces grow with me; Whatever I feel, whatever I see I try to paint it. Music, Nature, Love & Society…all move me. Sometimes I ask myself why do I paint? It is your way to put your imagination and opinion before everyone, my brain’s obvious reply. Yes, It’s somewhat a therapy to me. I paint since I'd literally hold a pencil. So, I believe Its a Talent and “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me.”(~Erma Bombeck)

These are a few pieces I drew back in 2008 and 2009.

The above one’s “the Rock Guy”

Its like I saw some artist's woodwork, Got Inspired, & drew this face.

Oh, I hope that it won't end though alone.

Peace,

it doesn't mean to be in a place where there's
no noise, trouble or Hardwork.
It means to be amidst all those things
& still be calm In Your Heart.

Joy.

The one below’s a piece I drew for IC art contest, it wasn’t included in the contest but rather was displayed at the walls for motivation of participants and for providing an example of what was required for the competition.

A Better World? Where nobody Murders My Peace. 2010, for Display at IC Art Exhibition.

P.S, I also like to take pictures and photoshop them. So I may be updating a few clicks on my blog.

Till then, Let me show you my world through my paints...
