Its since more then a year,I have stopped roaming in the early mornings,or meeting friends.I would rather say,I have compulsorily confined myself in my house due to corona.I can imagine those deserted streets and deserted work places and deserted all places where men used to go,which I would rather describe it in the sketch here

During my free time at FortMcMurray
Its' since long time after resuming to be here again writing a blog on my old sketch.I will be posting one of my old sketch, which I did when I was in Fort McMurray in 2013.
It was a winter time and there was a heavy snowfall,I remember it very well ,which inspiered me to sketch this.With my cousin I was sitting in the living room having a hugh baywindow,from where I viewed our neighbourhood and this sketch was done by myself. Of course the colors used are imaginative and it was yet a construction site.Behind the houses there was a dense forest and my imagination was at pick.It seems like a fairy land,while havin g a look today!

Chariot Procession in McMurray
It was a thrill filled with gratitude towards Lord Jaganath (krishna), Balram and Subhadra,as said they come out on the streets to meet their devotees in a chariot once every year in the beginning days of the downpour in India.Since everyday a hindu devotee goes to the temple for prayer and on the arrival of monsoon showers once every year Lord Krishna visits people.
Its just impossible to participate in a chariot procession in Puri,Orissa or may it be Ahmedabad,Gujarat in India,due to huge crowd.Though I have seen the live telecast of it but never dreamed of it coming true.
My cousin in Fort Mcmurray told me two days prior to the procession day and so I had enough time to well set to participate.
Early that morning we went to the place from where it started and it took some 3 hours to return back from the streets.All excitement poured in me walking with a vibrantly decorated chariot having deities inside with all the devotees in Indian outfits.
People played the different musical instruments and the music merged with the chanting of 'Hare Krishna Hare Rama' For a moment all this took me way back to my home town in India.People offered their gratitude by doing volunteering of sweeping the road before the chariot rolled over,by pulling the rope attached to the chariot and distributing food offered to the deities

and the joy was doubled up by ending with a great vegetaranian indian meal, for me the day was full of enchantment.I thanked the lord for such a nice day!

Art in Fort McMurray
Going to Fort McMurray was something like going to meet an unknown and strange person and to live with him.Even at my middle age I became feverish and full of excitement when my husband told me that we are moving to Fort McMurray,Alberta.
I started reading about the new place on web and started asking about it to friends from Ontario,who had already migrated over there.
The review was a mixed one,some liked the span of winter,some hated it, to some the extended day light up to 10.30pm was full of enjoyment and some with awe spoke about the Northern lights and so on..
But than I thought it would be my personal opinion that would count as every person is different.
Our family friend Jayesh,his wife Manisha,their children Vaishvi and Dhyan are warm welcomers.Our stay with them in Alberta will be a memorable one.
As I had dreamed,Fort was like that.A place having a hilly terrain with Athabasca river flowing,just like North Americas' land scape.Its a short time to give a review but in short I liked the place and people here.
The most awesomest guy being little Dhyan.Its his vacation time and I am allotted the work of improving his
hand writing and art.I really enjoy, him becoming naughty and start arguing when not in mood to do the exercises and sometimes obedient like a regular student finishing the art work given by me.

To me, its' the exercises of fingers, by doing patterns and strokes of colours,the improvement in the art and handwriting would be certainly there and am pretty sure about it.Keep it up, Dhyan.

As spring arrives
very slowly and gently the days of blosom has arrived leaving the cold winter days behind...
the whole scenic view swirls around,the colors of branches of trees have changed due to flowers, near a river side where a cuckoo sings melody every morning.

seeing all this my heart started humming that,"oh folks, come togather and let us sing the song of love,"
A sudden enchanment arose in me, as this is the charisma of spring and a spiced Indian tea.
It was the time of early morning while sitting on a swing in my open balcony with a warm cup of mint & ginger tea.
Half a cup of water,with the remaining half of milk,spoonful of sugar,a tea bag,grated ginger, couple of mint leaves,bring all this to a boil in a pot and than strain it with a strainer in a cup and that is it.
This tea is really a miracle to make your heart sing while enjoying the coming spring days.Try it as it is a very good energizer for body and the spring adds the peacefulness to soul.

bringing seasons inside
Colors are gifted in abundance by nature, to the flowers as spring arrives.By enjoying the seasons and flowers a special feeling arose in me,like Red giving me fullness,Yellow bringing glory and brilliance,Green giving the feeling of excessiveness and of course Blue imparts vastness and all the colors when blossomed in flowers are of course cheerful and gay.This beautiful spring gives me a message of adopting variety and diversity to make life more interesting.
Which inspired me to bring seasons in my living area as it was the time for makeover.
Another thing to note is we are gifted by the nature to enjoy the coming of migratory birds in November,December,January as it is the winter time in India.Sea gulls being the most common in my area.It is so exciting to see them enjoying the savory Surat food like "bhusu" and "ganthiya".They are being fed by the localites,when they are especially
seen flying in assemblage over the bridge on river Tapi.Once I captured them in my camera and made them the concept of my paintings.
I hung these paintings on the wall which I painted sap green escorted by lime green in the 3 side walls of the living area.A bunch of colorful Gerberas brought in the vibrancy to the place made me feel that indeed I have brought the seasons in my habitat.
