Day1:
I love painting though I am neither a professional nor an expert. It is true that I learned painting from a lady called Ms. Reena Deb Roy for almost 9 years. She was originally from Habiganj, Sylhet District of Bangladesh and from the same locality as my father's family. Hence, Niyati pishi ( an aunt from the neighborhood) was suggested mom for enrolling me in Reena aunty's home school. Hence began another chapter of my life... I fondly used to call 'Arter Aunty' and she was in her late 40's when I first met her. Since she used to stay in rented rooms, my Thakurma(grandmom) asked her to shift to one of the unused rooms of our ancestral house. So did she. I was very fond of her and love her paintings. She taught me with all her heart and whatever I can paint today is because of the basics I learned from her.
Painting for me is like a passion...I do it because I love doing it. But that does not happen always. Most of the time it takes backstage and though I have many ideas, I find it difficult to always take it out. I was left with only one empty canvas when the quarantine started. I took that out yesterday night and started with a painting. Just like everything...I am still not sure what I will draw ultimately. I thought of penning down the progress every day and turn that into a canvas dairy.
Day 1:I thought of drawing a tree full of white textured flowers on a golden sunny day in the background. Thought of mixing some silver glow. I even tried mixing some. Since it was abysmal hence to cover that up with other colors. Suddenly felt an urge to write down some Bengali lines which was appearing in my mind while making the painting. #CoronaDairy #QuarantinePaintingInMyCanvas # CoronavirusHobbyIdeas
Done with the background
নতুন ছবি
ক্যানভাস এ আঁকি বুকি
রং তুলি করছে কাজ
বুনছে স্বপ্ন,
খুলছে জং ধরা কপাট
ভাবনা গুলো সেজে উঠে
মাথার ওপর পড়ছে তাজ
এখন মাঝরাত।
মায়াজাল সাজিয়ে রংএর ডালি
করে এসে ডাকা ডাকি
বলে, অনেক তো শুয়েছিশ
এবার জেগে ওঠ
খামখেয়ালি সরিয়ে দে
আছে বাকি অনেক কাজ
এখন মাঝরাত।
কাপড়ের ভাজে
কিংবা মনের ভেতর মাঝে
অনেক ইচ্ছে আছে জেগে
আলসেমি তে গা এলিয়ে
সরিয়ে রাখিস
যা থাকে মনের অগোচরে
এবার তাকে বাইরে আন
এখনতো সবে মাঝরাত।
পেন্সিল, তুলি, আর রংএর বাহার
তাকে তাকে জমিয়ে রেখে
কি লাভ তোর এদের অবহেলা করে?
অনেক তো আছে সময় তোর
এবার এদের নেরে চেরে
নতুন নতুন স্বপ্ন বোন
পুরনো ছবি জাগিয়ে তোল
ভোর অবধি আছে সময়
এখন সবে মাঝরাত।
