The Battle

Peacock Illustration by Prashanthe

I got inspired by peacock photograph and graphic and did this illustration.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. - Buddha

Rain is grace; rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.

- John Updike

Limitless Art!

Life is the art of drawing without an eraser. - John W. Gardner

Finding Order in Randomness

In our daily life, we see various likable design patterns formed by the nature, unconsciously we like these patterns: there are some proportions, combinations, colour schemes etc. that will be applied which gives the good feeling when we see them. I felt the same way when I saw the pattern being formed on my car windshield and giving a magical view and excited me to look at it. The best part is from this raindrop pattern, opposite light was trying to reach me and representing the abstract feeling when I saw them.

What made me shoot this:

The image was a reminder of Nikhat Parveen's quote in the article 'Fibonacci in Nature' that says, "In the seeming randomness of the natural world, we can find many instances of mathematical order."

The raindrops on my window were illuminated by a bright light from the side creating this magical moment. I had to simply compose it in a way that did it justice.
