Colours from Mother Nature

Travelling is a medium by which we get to see different places, taste various cuisines, see different cultures, traditions, be a part of a different group of people, see different landscapes..some would be forests..others beaches..some plateaus..some barren terrains..some inaccessible mountains. We get a chance to see how people live in different parts of the world..how their trees and flowers are different from ours..how the color of their soil differs from our home land..how their language is different from ours..how our festivals are different from theirs.

Yet there could be some similarities like their night sky with the crescent moon and the twinkling stars could look just like the one in our homeland..the sun rays which fall on the awake of dawn could look just like ours..the same air crosses our motherland too.. the fragrance of the soil when the first drops of rain fall on them on the start of the rainy reason..would smell just like ours do...our emotions could be same concerning certain things..This makes us realize that nature binds us together in many ways..we are all her children.. 

Colors from Mother Nature is about how Travel inspires Art. It could be in various forms..a singer could find his music in a foreign land..a writer suffering from writer's block could find his next story..a painter could find his muse..or learn a new technique from the artists out there in the foreign land..

As Albert Einstein has rightly said " Creativity is contagious..pass it on..!, we too believe that art has no boundaries..art can be found in everything..it's just about the artist's view..his perception of perceiving a certain thing..

We had discovered the technique of knife painting when we had traveled to Bali..Bali seemed like an artist's paradise..there was so much art right from the streets to the art galleries.. people were painting on the streets..they were carving..making sculptures..handicrafts.. There were many art galleries in Ubud & Seminyak..we visited two such galleries and learned the technique of knife painting from them..they usually use this for depicting their rice fields.. their lessons and valuable tips remained with us and we tried to paint our own ides using those techniques.. 

This was our personal experience on how different places inspire you..some things inspire you in such a way that you carry them back with you.. and add your own touch to it.. and it stays with you for a lifetime..

“Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.”

So keep travelling..you never know what could inspire you..when..where & how...!
