"Great to be Alive"

I saw this picture at the Sunday Inquirer newspaper this morning. I had a great time painting this one with my pastels and acrylic paints on a 360gsm paper board. A painting a day keeps the boredom away.

Kokeshi Dolls

I am fascinated with the Kokeshi Dolls, those handcrafted cuties with no arms and legs. It gives me pure joy creating them. I first made the smaller peg dolls, then finally came up with these. Little Red Riding hood and Alice in Wonderland are two of my favorite characters of all time. So, i had to pay tribute to these "fierce" ladies. I will be posting more of them soonest.
