The techniques are easily available now on You Tube and you can just about transform any junk piece into a creative piece of art!
I have made many simple cheap artifacts, and love creative painting of furniture, pots and vases, along with creative show pieces, trees and paper weights. It is the pleasure of making some thing, beautiful, that which was not present earlier, the creative need of every human being, is satisfied by simple things. Most of the times from creative use of junk and throw away items emerges a fresh master piece. In the past years i have painted dried tree roots, branches, made stockings flowers, paper flowers, painted walls with patterns and designs, made soap carvings that are awe sum. Artists are full of creative energy, we need to be making something, the urge to create exists.

The symbol in the sky "move ahead"

 as I had painted the feng shui dragon overlapping symbols and sighted the same in the sky later on i wonder what the above symbol indicates, will come to know.. the sky an immense bounty of inspiration for all artists around the globe, just sitting and observing you are never left empty handed, you get loads and loads of unlimited inspiration.

 With staring at the blank canvases, I allow them to speak for themselves, until then there are other creative outlets for me, the last time the doors were painted,  now the tree artifact is being refurbished, not to mention the garden vases and pots that have been painted many times,as this also increases the life of the pots.

 There are times for every artist when they are in search for inspiration, observe nature, there is tons there,and take a break, paint some thing different, a different type of medium, brush up your artistic skills by repainting old things and furniture, making sculptures of any material, perhaps a collage of amazing pictures or old photographs . the physical energy combined with spiritual energy of creativity, You will be surprised to see how the third eye chakra, anjana , opens up, observe ultra marine blue crystals, I love French Ultramarine Blue color, and you get fresh ideas and inspiration to paint, now the canvas is the same, the paints are the same but your mind has a different approach, let's paint!
symbolic of fresh new start, clean slate of life, empty mind for new ideas, forgetting past bad experiences, beginning some thing great, your mind is emptied of all thoughts and open to new opportunities  umpteen possibilities,  it is very soothing and relaxing to observe the blank canvas try it!

How to make artifacts at home using dried tree branches? 
1) choose a fuller branch. It has to be sturdy to take the weight of added on beads, pearls, flowers, gemstones, mirrors or anything you wish to add.
2) See that the branch has some tiny spreading shoots. this is good feng shuii energy of bringing in spreading your luck.
3) Clean the branch thoroughly and remove all dust, insects and check for mites, as they will destroy your artifact.
4) Once dried well, put in direct sunlight for hours to get a fresh base. The tree shaped branch.
5) Choose a square or rectangle, circle, any shaped cardboard box.  The tree has to be put in this box and enough plaster of  paris cement mixture has to cover the base to give it a strong base. Dry thoroughly.
5) Paint using oil paints. these I have found are durable, best and long lasting and also give a glossy finish.
6) Add on anything. Gemstones for making your feng shuii wealth luck tree. plastic fruits, paper flowers, cloth flowers, tiny mirrors , anything you feel will uplift your home decor and act as an element of design.

 Many restaurants have special team of directors who look out for new art , art that is available for cheap prices or at concessions or bulk offers, combo offers with a lump sum price quoted for many small paintings.

 Art for restaurants and hotels need to fulfill the simple criteria of being colorful and attractive. Not too garish colors as the customer needs to focus on food and not the artwork for ever! The paintings must be of general appeal to the viewers and not have any adult content. Families must feel comfortable with the art hanging on the walls of the restaurant or hotel.

 Simple geometric abstract symbolic artworks have universal appeal and come at a reasonable price for refurbishing the decor. Many times hotels would need painting sin large numbers so they may also contact the artist whose work they like and order for commissioned artworks according to the size and number of paintings they require.

How to make Collages with Paintings a great Combination

How to make collages with paintings was on my mind since many years, my very small artworks, precious babies, geometric and sacred geometry, cubism artworks, needed to be made larger. I needed a platform for these beautiful small works to be assembled and what better media than collaging the small pieces together.
I have learned many lessons on the way with only one collage to my credit and now know how difficult it is to make, hats off to all collagists, especially my best friend Vijaya, I don't know how she makes wonderful pieces!
Method for collage making-
Assemble all the required materials and pieces of art at hand. I had to spend much time, much more than expected to assemble which small paintings went well together, or maybe had some connection.Most time consuming but worth the effort.Not one session but involved many sessions, months to assemble pieces.
Keeping all the materials together like glue, a stick was considered best, since when I tried pasting glue with fingers the whole painting just falls in love with my finger itself,  comes out with my finger!
Rags and rough cloth is very important and water to clean hands so that the parts remain on the base selected and not come off.
Select a from base, my oil sketch paper was a thin base and the collage of paintings has not come out too good as I expected.Maybe next time I will select a firm base, cardboard, wooden board or hard board.
Always allow the collage to dry out, give it time, more time and more time, yes it takes time to dry thoroughly with the think glue and if you are making collage with small pieces the more important this would be to give it time to dry out well to keep the pieces glued.
Not the tricky part, framing this collage of painting, any frame will not do, a good quality sturdy frame that would be able to bear the weight of the collage and not bend out with the weight of the artwork is required.

Maintaining the collages of paintings would also require attention and care as keeping them stacked like paintings would do more harm than good and there is also risk due to high moisture levels, of them getting too friendly and sticking to others, collages!
Here in the above posted collage of small paintings I have selected three small paintings for making a collage done in the year 2006.

Maybe some great tips would follow from Vijaya, as she is a great collagist!collecting , assembling and bringing beauty into lifeless forms of bits!


I wish to make simple colorful understandable art, art that heals

Guide for New Art Collection, the Young Art Collector

Guide for new art collection, as many artists themselves and new Young enthusiasts are beginning to consider buying art for collecting purposes along with our prestigious established art collectors  jotting down few points that would guide our new young art collector.
1) Are you a serious art collector, beginning an art collection takes time and effort and of course money! are you willing to keep spending money for buying art over the years to develop a strong art collection. Making a good collection takes years and is a great feeling as established art collectors indicate.
2) Fix a tentative budget that you wish to spend for buying art. Making an good art collection will require you to spend money , little, sometime more on regularly buying paintings.
3) the source, buying art as a new art collector will require advice from know people in this field. Which art to buy, how much to spend for an artwork, how to negotiate for buying art, all will need some thought.Contacting reputed art galleries, conversing with established art collectors, and forming a simple flexible plan for buying art and beginning an art collection of years ahead. For this you may as a new young collector brush the internet for online galleries displaying art or visit any local art galleries whenever you have time. This will help you to get genuine art and avoid fakes.
 4) Become social, talk, converse, study artists, read about styles of painting, all this will help you to focus on the theme of your art collections  Established art collectors have a specific like for certain art, certain artists work and of course some for impulsive likeable art. You will view art and understand your personal preferences for certain styles, certain artists work, like you always choose abstract colorists or you fall in love with landscapes or maybe you have liking for symbolic art.
5) Buying art for beginning a collection and for investment purposes will also require financial knowledge and good business sense always helps. You as a new young art collector will have to think long term, invest less and reap benefits. Though art does not multiply very fast as other investment forms but it is sure emerging as an investment form giving good returns and a no risk investment as you get to own a good piece of art to enjoy over the years. Buying from new promising artists would bring art into your collection at cheaper rates and negotiable prices. Investing in art from established artists would give you returns sooner, the choice would be yours, the new art collectors.

especially the sky, at different times of the day and night, sometimes middle of the night when they(stars) are at their best, shining pure bright, in the clear night sky, and the stars.. communicating, there is a belief that each star connects to you and is called the Core Star, which in Reiki healing we have to connect and make it shine, make the core star shining bright in the universe. Fascinated with core stars in Reiki we have to make our core star shine, that is our ultimate aim in life for this soul journey.

You will be amazed at the wonders in the sky and never is the sky same at any moment, you will notice there is so much happening, as a child I used to observe the shapes of the moving clouds, they had meanings, they had messages and forms and yet I do observe ,the only thing now is I know the earth is moving round and round! 

If you are confused with life or have any questions do sit looking at the sky for few minutes and you will find answers, sometimes there are elephants seen, you may notice the winged horse galloping in the clouds and also angels with wings swaying happily. Ships may float over the clouds on a journey and there are palaces and castles seen among the clouds if you look for. I also would sit for hours staring at the night sky from my terrace garden. stars look so beautiful, it seems the same places when you look you find them. Then I read about them, the stars they are always there. they do not change places, it is just the sunlight that over powers them and dims their light and as sun sets they again shine brighter. The constellations fascinated me and the stars in Orion's belt, three in a line and Cereus that shines brightest, here the inspirations comes out on oil sketch paper in form of golden rainbow along with the core star shining brightest. And of course my signature style, Chinese symbols, for total happiness and good luck. 

Inspired by core star I have painted few spiritual paintings to activate our core star. Remember the aim of every soul is to live to its maximum potential. This can be achieved by activating the core star. reiki rt assists in this journey. 

Core star activation tips-

With reiki I have understood the core star is a star , a golden light, just like sun shining from the solar plexus chakra. The mantra to activate this star is "rumm". In Reiki We also have specific exercises to activate the core star. Apply oil to your stomach, move 24 times clock wise and 24 times anti clockwise. The first step unblocks energy and second one seals energy. 

Visualization is also very powerful. imagine a golden ball of light shining, bursting with energy and the more often you do this with words followed about your core star shining, you will find so much energy flowing through you and also personal power activation. 

When you shine your core star you find energy, opportunities, health wealth and success in all aspects of life. Make your core star shine! 

The energy of colours
