<strong>About</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
Bhavna is an artist, illustrator, and an educator. She is the owner of Bhavna Misra Art studio and the creative force behind the <a href="https://wordpress.com/page/bhavnamisra.com/46">art services</a> offered by the studio. Her passion lies in making theme-based, awareness oriented art by painting portraits, landscapes, and objects of everyday life. Oil is her preferred medium but she uses many other media, including pastel, watercolor, and graphite. She describes her style as "<span class="maintext">careful balance of accuracy and expressionism".</span><br />

<strong>Balance of Creativity and Work</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><br />
Bhavna Misra creates theme based and often issue oriented art that she hopes would inspire the viewers to appreciate the beauty of realism and traditional art and then move on to explore deeper and be part of the creative story-telling process.<br /><br />Bhavna started to paint from an early age, mostly on the side, while keeping focus on academics. Later, once she secured a gainful employment in tech industry, she pursued arts more seriously.<br />
She established a professional art studio and managed her art activities through it. Soon she started to receive recognition for her work, invitation to shows, affiliation to art organizations, opportunities to teach, and steady stream of commissioned artworks.<br />
<span class="maintext"></span><br />
She takes pride in managing her art studio in tandem with her corporate job and expresses gratitude for the opportunity to dedicate her life to a meaningful cause.<br /><br />Bhavna believes that not studying art formally gave her a chance to develop her own style, and to live in the spirit of a lifelong student.

<b>Today</b><br />
<br />
In 1968, King was planning a national occupation of Washington, D.C., to be called the Poor People's Campaign, when he was assassinated by James Earl Ray on April 4 in Memphis, Tennessee; riots followed in many U.S. cities. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established as a holiday in numerous cities and states beginning in 1971, and as a U.S. federal holiday in 1986. Hundreds of streets in the U.S. have been renamed in his honor, and a county in Washington State was also rededicated for him. The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was dedicated in 2011.<br />

Painting from life speeds up everything you know about artmaking - observation, color-mixing, and painting. </div>

A delightful little piece on stretched canvas with sides painted in black can hang with or without frame. Larger prints are available.</div>

So I decided to utilize the diffused light and painted strawberries without composing them in any particular order.</div>

The above painted apple was supposed to be my <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BPMCPrkBY2i/?taken-by=creativitycornerofbhavna" target="_blank">afternoon snack</a></b>. But a beautiful fruit as this begged to be painted first! </div>

Denali National Park and Preserve encompasses 6 million acres of
Alaska’s interior wilderness. Its centerpiece is 20,310-ft.-high Denali
(aka Mount McKinley), North America’s tallest peak. With terrain of
tundra, spruce forest and glaciers, the park is home to wildlife
including grizzly bears, wolves, moose, caribou and Dall sheep. Popular
activities in summer include biking, backpacking, hiking and
mountaineering. (Source: Wiki)<br />

Nature has its own mysterious ways to offer drama, amusement, and sense of immediacy for us to enjoy and interpret in our own words and capacity. Most times, a gorgeous view humbles and delights in the manner nothing else can - leaving me speechless in awe and wonder. <br />
<br />
In moments like this, not knowing what better can I do, I try to put my ever-ready hd-camera to some use. In this post, I would like to share the recent captures the fleeting scenes of clouds floating in the vast spread of blue skies. Here are some humble attempts to catch those moments. <br />

<br />
Joshua Tree National Park is a vast protected area in southern
California. It’s characterized by rugged rock formations and stark
desert landscapes. Named for the region’s twisted, bristled Joshua
trees, the park straddles the cactus-dotted Colorado Desert and the
Mojave Desert, which is higher and cooler. Keys View looks out over the
Coachella Valley. Hiking trails weave through the boulders of Hidden
Valley. (Source: Wikipedia)<br />

About the Artwork<br />
<br />
This painting is signature landscape artwork I create. I chose sunlight as my guiding tool for the relative positioning of
the planes and the rocky background. The colors are often dramatized as seen,
not as are with some minor omissions in the selected frame.<br />
<br />
The defining brush strokes are bold, loaded with paints,
and very pleasing to art connoisseurs. Not sure if you can tell that from the photo, but I invite you to take a closer look when you can!</div>

<br />
Grand Canyon National Park, in Arizona, is home to much of the Grand Canyon, with its layered bands of red rock revealing
millions of years of geological history. Viewpoints include Mather
Point, Yavapai Observation Station and architect Mary Colter’s Lookout
Studio and her Desert View Watchtower. Lipan Point, with wide views of
the canyon and Colorado River, is a popular, especially at sunrise and
sunset.<br />

This painting is impressionistic landscape artwork similar to other ones in the series. I choose orange yellow sunlight as my guiding tool for the
relative positioning of the mountain planes and the shadowed areas caused by them. The colors are dramatized <i>as seen</i>, not <i>as are</i>.<br />
<br />
This artwork and similar pieces are available in small, medium (up to 24″), and larger sizes. The painting is unframed.<br />
<br />
I am excited to share that it is also available in high quality canvas wrap with sides in black.
For larger sizes’ prices and customized artwork, feel free to contact me
at <span class="skimlinks-unlinked">bhavna.misra@gmail.com</span>.<br />
<br />
The price range is based on the painted sq inch area. Being an
independent artist, I am open for the reasonable offers. But if you like this one, I can assure you, you will love it manyfolds when you see it in person.<br />

<br />
Simple shapes and a perception of depth, these are the two key points I kept in mind while painting for this one. I laid out the basic drawing with the thinned paint in the hues of burnt sienna. Once satisfied with the layout, I painted the entire surface with only three values, both bookends and a middle tone. This helped me make the color decisions for the different areas and planes.<br />
<br />
Rest is pretty much right here. Using thick layers of paint it was a delightful exercise to enjoy and recreate a nature-scape. Hope you'd enjoy it. <br />

Grand Teton National Park is in the state of Wyoming. It encompasses the
Teton mountain range, the 4,000-meter Grand Teton peak, and the valley
known as Jackson Hole.<br />
<br />
It’s a popular destination in summer for mountaineering, hiking,
backcountry camping and fishing, linked to nearby Yellowstone National
Park by the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway.<br />

Yosemite Falls is the highest waterfall in Yosemite National Park,
dropping a total of 2,425 feet from the top of the upper fall to the
base of the lower fall. Located in the Sierra Nevada of California, it
is a major attraction in the park, especially in late spring when the
water flow is at its peak.<br />
Yosemite National Park is a United
States National Park spanning eastern portions of Tuolumne, Mariposa and
Madera counties in the central eastern portion of California. The pa<span class="text_exposed_show">rk,
which is managed by the National Park Service, covers an area of
747,956 acres and reaches across the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada
mountain range.</span><br />

About 3.8
million people visit Yosemite each year: most spend the majority of
their time in the seven square miles of Yosemite Valley. Designated a
World Heritage Site in 1984, Yosemite is internationally recognized for
its granite cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams, giant sequoia groves,
lakes, mountains, glaciers, and biological diversity. (Wikipedia)<br />

<br />
<span><b><a href="https://bhavnamisra.com/2016/08/07/big-sur-landscape-in-oil/" target="_blank">Big Sur</a></b> is not a national park. Not even a national monument, it's a stretch of land of California’s central coast between
Carmel and San Simeon. I still included it in this series for its beauty and the emotional attachment that I feel towards this lovely seascape.</span><br />
<br />
<span>Bordered to the east by the Santa Lucia Mountains
and the west by the Pacific Ocean, it’s traversed by narrow, 2-lane
State Route 1, known for winding turns, seaside cliffs and views of the
often-misty coastline. The sparsely populated region has numerous state
parks for hiking, camping and beachcombing. </span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>I visited this area some 17 years ago, for the first time. I found the view very peaceful and inviting. It is now that I finally got a chance to paint what I saw then.</span><br />

<br />
Art has given wings to my imagination and opened up the windows of limitless possibilities! Without art and creative outlet, I had never known the beauty and intrigue a simple piece of nature can hold. I feel very fortunate to have a life surrounded by the natural beauty and a gift to be able to express it into my way of interpretation.<br />
