It is developed using many computer programs.

Encaustic painting & kalamkari paintings…

Encaustic painting is the one of the oldest yet still followed using various ways. The hot beeswax is used to paint. Nowadays, electric iron, hotpates are used as paints to create encaustic painting since it gains more patterns easier. They are gained their origin from Greek. Its dimension quality and luminous color attracts the people. 

Kalamkari painting works are the pen works where the different style of painting is famous in the designing part. The pen work is way too stylish and also applied in the dress materials.  Only natural dyes are used here. It is a handwritten artwork. 

The artists who excelled in painting are many more. One of  the world’s painting work is Mona Lisa painting. The most sung about, most famous in the world. It earned the Guinness record for its aesthetic values. The most valuable work of the  artist, Leonardo DA Vince, who gifted this painting to his ma dona (his wife). 

The painting is done in the year of 1503 perhaps continuing till 1517. Leonardo is the Italian polymath of the renaissance interested on the areas like mathematics, engineering, science, painting, drawing, sculpting, architecture and music. 

He is known as the father of paleontology and the greatest painter of all time. He is known for his unquenchable curiosity and at age 14, he was apprenticed in Verrocchio's workshop. His professional life revolves around many universally accepted paintings like

• Vitruvian Man (c. 1490)
• The Last Supper (c. 1495–98)
• The Virgin of the Rocks (c. 1483–86)
• Head of a Woman (1500–10)
• Lady with an Ermine (c. 1489–91)
• Salvator Mundi (c. 1500)
• Ginevra de’ Benci (c. 1474/78)
• The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne (c. 1503–19)

His painting works made on the variety of surfaces mostly on wet-plaster or stone wall.  He is the master in chiaroscuro (meaning ‘light/dark’). Yeah! his work depicts light and shadow and won’t be in richer hue. As he himself mentioned in his notebooks,

"Your shadows and lights should be blended without lines or borders in  the manner of smoke losing itself in the air.”

He always believed that he is connected to science and nature. He followed the “sfumato” technique of painting. 

The facts which makes us to inspire him are…

• He wrote the text in reverse manner. 
• He believed there is no barrier between science and art. 
• He never finished the Mona Lisa painting. 
• He dissected corpses since he had interest in human anatomy. So he is not only a painter, but also an architect well scientist and engineer.  

Thus, I conclude here, to think and if interested read about the persons you inspire in your life.  Well, everyone is unique and have one choice to make their life beautiful in their own way.  Try it and prove ourselves that we are the  best in what we choose!!!

THANKSGIVING DAY IMPORTANCE

“There is always something for which we have to be thankful.”

 THANKSGIVING means expressions of gratitude to everyone. Thanksgiving day is the day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. This day is celebrated as the national holiday on the second Monday of October in Canada.  It originated as a harvest festival. The Americans call this event as the "First Thanksgiving" which was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621. This feast lasted three days, and—as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow—it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. The New England were familiar with celebrating "Thanksgivings day” as the day of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought regularly.

Since 1789, Thanksgiving day has been celebrated nationally on and off, after Congress requested a proclamation by George Washington. Thanksgiving day has been celebrated as a Confederate holiday every year since 1863, and during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens," to be celebrated on the last Thursday in the month of November. Therefore, with the Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader fall/winter holiday season in the U.S. After 1942, FD Roosevelt passed the bill stating that Thanksgiving day to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November of every year and it is followed till now in united states.

“Always gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, house into the home, a stranger into a friend.”
-Melody Beattie.
