Digital Arts and beyond - a digital portrait

Hi ,
Welcome to the world of digital art. Unlike my other blogs where I display my works (writings and recipes), this is an admiration blog.

Ok, now I am sure that this has got you thinking. What do I mean by an admiration blog? This is a blog where I would display the artistic creations of a man I admire and love. The man in question here is .....none other than my dear hubby.

Now, its not just love,fresh air and admiration alone, we too have this love-hate relationship like all married couples do (now...now think I should be speaking only for myself and not the rest of the married world). The ups and downs are surely an integral part of a marriage that adds to the fun and excitement of the relationship, the roller coaster ride as I like to call it. But when it comes to his works, it is definitely just one feeling - admiration.

Now I can go on and on about marriages, so let me stop my rambling and come back to the point, the world of digital arts. Digital art started off as something Rajesh discovered he was good at almost accidentally. However, from hobby to passion the destination was one he got to quickly, probably even before he realized (of course my daughter and me did realize for sure and have made sure to log the long hours that he spent in front of the comp - the huge sacrifices we have made to turn him from a budding artist to one we are really proud of:). Balancing work and a hobby can really be tough however, but guess the Type A personality he is makes it a bit easy.



He is definitely not one to leave something half way and that's one quality I really love. His determination and drive, that’s probably what got him to master one software after the other all by himself (of course our encouragement - we would definitely be there to share every moment of the limelight).

What began as just some image editing soon assumed the status of “art”, and beautiful art I must say....can't help admiring most of his creations (you must especially see the portrait of mine that he created).

Digital paintings and portraits have been an important part of our lives in the past few years and has definitely been one that we all (including my little one) are enjoying. Watching him work, the numerous visits to the art galleries and the beautiful art books have all made me too a part of this beautiful world of art. Have been wanting to put together the works for sometime now, at last have done it - made a beginning - what better than a blog to showcase these beautiful creations.

And so, here it is for you, each post is going to have a personal pick of mine from his rather large collection. Would begin with, what I refer to as his best creation.

Thank you for visiting my blog. this sure is going to be an enlightening journey in the world of digital arts. There is a lot going to be happening here...do keep coming back for more on the excitement.
