As it is water colour is a tough medium for me so the idea of trying it at a mini level gave me a break through of sorts . I saw some tutorials on You tube and loved how it worked. I did not do what the tutorials taught (the sketch and all) however the hints and techniques proved to be helpful ( quite helpful actually !!).</div><div><br /></div><div>It was a motivation in disguise as I did not have to create anything big, or have much detailing to to. It often happens that going for the big picture, things start to slow down and the fervour gets tossed out. So, here I am with the Mini's:</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Lighthouse" border="0" data-original-height="2718" data-original-width="2718" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R9tracI6M-o/X1EEN2jHR4I/AAAAAAAASVM/iGwgn2p9z8w4FkvEOfc9tfacxmya44gKwCPcBGAsYHg/w400-h400/20200903_202432.jpg" title="On The Hill ©Astimeflies 2020" width="400" /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This was the first attempt and it came out fine. The sea and the hill worked out well but the light house and the houses made me want to stop.... Still, Some more strokes here and some colour there gave it some form. I am happy at the end.😁</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><blockquote>Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase. ― Martin Luther King Jr.</blockquote></span></div><div>The next one is a sketch idea I got From little's textbook.

Looking sadly at the form that was supposed to be a somber man, Rosy wished to fight her destiny for playing games with her. Here was a man talking to the walls with his gaze fixed on his shoe and feeling pity for the bumping doors. The man she had married was lost forever, but still, he was a good man and her man.<br />
<br />
Love gave her the strength.</div>

Everywhere on the internet, I see talks about resolution. Well, the new year brings up that feeling, just like independence day makes us a patriot. However, this year I am off the resolutions; as it is I have never stood true to them anyways. So, here I go living each day.<br />
<br />
So this new year no initiating new resolutions or setting up a new timetable. Over the last few years, I realized the dates and time stamp is to ease out the working schedule but I began to fuss over them so much that the actual cause got lost. So, here I stand before the web( ah! sit before the PC) and try to work hard, stay firm, determined, and keep moving ahead. Worries didn't help in the past and gave me weight issues only.</div>

People may have a hundred solutions to my problems but I for once shall take decisions unadulterated by others intervention. Fruitful or futile, I bare the responsibility.<br />
<br />
It is great if things fall into the time frame, however, I do not plan to fret even if I lag behind. keeping my spirits up and ready to work hard. There is nothing more satisfying than a task accomplished, but a failed one is an experience too.<br />
<br />
Best wishes and a happy new year!<br />

“Mamma is Santa visiting us this year?” asked little Rosy.<br />
<br />
“Maybe”, answered her mother while she was busy sewing the red cloth.<br />
<br />
All this while Rosy sat there dreaming about the ‘man in red’ who visited every child in the world except her, the reindeers who could light up her home, only if they paid her a short visit, about the gifts that she had so longed for since he left a void in their lives.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Today she would force herself to stay awake and get hold of him while he visited the neighbours next door, she thought but eventually fell asleep, and in the morning as she got out of her bed, she realized she had missed him again.<br />
<br />
Sulking she looked around in despair when something caught her attention – ‘he had actually visited her for he left her candies, toys, and a special toy that looked like him and not to forget the Santa bag to preserve these treasures.’<br />
