As a little girl, I used to draw sometimes. It was a moment of satisfaction and pleasure when I saw the completed drawings. I made greeting cards out of them or gave it to whoever I liked or stuck them in my cupboard. These drawings were cartoon characters like Winnie the pooh, 101 dalmations, chip and dale, the famous Mickey mouse and Donald duck, etc. As I started to grow and step into the whirlpool of Maths, Physics and Chemistry I could not afford to spend more time with Mickey and Donald and had to keep a full stop. Later after I finished my college and started to work, I found out something very interesting. It all started as a means to vent out my anger and frustration that you get so often in a software job but what do you know I seemed to like it more by the passing second. I had started to paint.
Now there are so many avenues and types in painting. What I do is the Reverse Glass Painting. I do it in two ways. I either get the printed reverse glass in the desired size and I paint. Or I mirror image of outlines, sketch them onto the glass using a glass liner and paint. However I do it, I find myself totally lost into it until my painting is done. The enthusiasm of creating a gift with your own hands and giving to those you love can never be explained. The power of creativity is such that it doubles when more and more people see and appreciate your work. Hence began my interest in doing reverse glass paintings.
The first few reverse glass paintings that I made are with printed designs.
