Circle of Life

It all began with this painting.... Circle of Life-1.

Hi to new comers and hi to my old pals. Those of you who know me from my old blog or personally know my obsession with painting on the chess theme. This is my first work in the Chess theme. After experimenting with different themes for a while, I just painted this one and I got hooked on to it. I did a few more in the same series and in the same color scheme. After a while I stopped painting on chess theme and did other works and realised that there was something in this theme and style that I as an artist felt connected to, and I also realised that I love painting on this theme more than anything else. And as an artist I realised that there may be a lot of critics, well wishers and loved ones who might not like it or understand your art, but you have got to do what you want to do.

So this work was done in 2014. Life is so unpredictable yet in a way it is predictable. We all know in our hearts that what goes around comes around. it is all part of the life circle. Life is but a circle. If there are downs all the way one should know in their hearts that there will be good days too. Like wise if there are just good days one should be prepared for bad days too. that is how life is. And that is the theme of this painting.
