My first Madhubani Painting

Here goes my first Madhubani painting using the poster colors. I saw this illustrated in Kannada magazine 'Taranga'. It hasn't come out greatly, you can see lot of mistakes in the borders, colors spreads. But for a first timer like me its OK I guess. What do you think? This is my inspiration for more Madhubani Paintings.

New beginning

I know its late to wish anybody happy new year but never too late. A very happy new year, new beginning to the people who have accidentally visited this blog. Last year saw myself in lots of downs and few ups. On the family side, there were sad happenings, on a personal side I was excited to learn the basics of sewing, car driving.
Posting here a few pics of my garden, few plants on which I had lost the hopes of surviving. Roses which were neglected, few plants were not watered properly in our absence. Seeing them surviving teaches me to be more patient, and hopeful of tomorrow..
