Milk and cookies



















Inspired by Lillian Bell's photo. This is my first still-life in acrylic. I found out acrylic is more forgiving than watercolors and it is so much fun!
I will have to give a try to acrylic paint more often and I did enjoy it a lot on this blizzard day.

Grainstack in the Morning, Snow Effect


















Got a chance to visited Museum of Fine Arts in Boston yesterday and had an opportunity to see these indescribable paintings from Monet, Renoir and Sargent. Inspired, I had to try my hand on this beauty created by Monet, Grainstack in the Morning.



















I got a picture taken for reference.
