Meanwhile on with another symbolic artwork in progress, and the canvas on my wall" Embracing the Chaos" with another month beginning ,

Embracing The Chaos by Rizwana Mundewadi

looking at the beautiful canvas with a few strokes till date, this painting has begun on 31st December 2013 and hope to continue till end of this year that is December 31st 2014, InshaAllah. I had begun with warm colors red orange and then at the end of January the color turquoise had come up with a single straight stroke bang in the center of the canvas. 
Controlling the urge to splash paint over and finish the painting, umpteen ideas and colros in my mind, patience, this painting is a lesson in patience, focus. This time I have gone with spiritual colors vibrant blue, ultramarine blue and camlin blue loaded and royal color purple, the strokes look beautiful against the plain canvas, an innocent abstract work with an identity of its own)
While on this spiritual journey of The Red Pilgrim as I continue to paint healing art...I wish to make simple colorful understandable art, art that heals.
