Through my windowpane....

Our sweetheart Roufes is  now no more..he came as a blessing 13 yrs ago and suddenly left us on 21st sept. 2015

This bundle of joy came to us with a shiny black coat and left back an entire legacy of love..

All what our blue eyed boy as we called him (as he had Glaucoma, high kreatin and multiple health issues) taught us the real meaning of Love, care, share  like no human ever can ~~~totally unconditional....

As a pup his innocence, playfulness, love, cuteness, loyalty, craziness all just engulfed us, he was part of our family and day by day totally inseparable. 

See how we humans work, Roufy was with us yesterday, but we had to create a place for his burial, whilst he was with us on our bed, suffering, we had to work as per a time table to avoid traffic, we have to abide by rules or we are not practical...a big factor to consider for an emotional fool like me.

It was raining whilst we drove him to the vet, his eyes moist, he was in severe pain, and was pushing his body towards us, stretching his stiff limbs, breathing loudly...how much i wanted to erase that pain like how i erase colors with my paint brush, but alas the time had come...he just had to go and i was wishing for some more time for him to be with us. Hope against hope...

Can't imagine that i internally wished for someone i loved soooo much, that suddenly death would engulf him and we just did not have to put him to sleep...!!!
Just through the windowpane all i can now see is the little place where our Roufy lies in slumber, a painless body now, burried deep....and  believe me the alphabets, RIP which i too have typed for many are far too heavy now....

ArtWorks by Ruks, ~Rukshana Hooda is a Semi Abstract Artist from Sir J. J. School of Art and Sophia College, Mumbai, India and would like to discuss art with interested people, Curators, Art Lovers, Art Collectors, Art Critics, Art-Inclined People, anyone who Loves Creativity & works of Art, exhibitions, biographies, views, events...!!! 
For those who wish to know about Semi-Abstract ~ A Semi Abstract Painting is pertaining to or designating a style of painting or sculpture in which the subject remains recognizable although the forms are highly stylized in a manner derived from abstract art. 

Rukshana N. Hooda ~ Painter/ Semi Abstract Visual Artist 

A qualified designer from the Sir J.J. School Of Art and Sophia College, Mumbai, 
Rukshana Hooda lovingly called ‘ruks’ by friends and family has been dabbling in art for the past 24 years. Before she found her own in the world of canvas and colors Rukshana has worked for Resham Creations as a Designer, freelanced with Laxmi Vishnu and as an honorary Teacher for Art/Craft/Calligraphy with The Fidai Institute, conducted classes for students for The Elementary and Intermediate Art Exams. 

Rukshana, a mother of two, despite an undying passion for the arts gave way to the rigors of her motherly instincts and left her brushes to rest, only to reinvent herself after nearly a quarter of a century. Overcoming an uncertain beginning, the overwhelming response to her paintings on fabric, canvas, thick cartridge etc, inspired her to start off with a new collection of miscellaneous paintings depicting her passion, her mind and her talent in her own style. 

her work, her inspiration… 

Rukshana derives inspiration for her work from nature and the world around her, nature in its own self has always absorbed her expression in its beauty, its serenity and its solitude that transcends feelings beyond mortal boundaries...... Human forms, seemingly shapeless boulders, wonderful clouds and green landscapes that transform on paper, plates, canvas, marine-ply, teak, etc. For Rukshana beauty holds no form, she endeavors to capture and create its essence on her easel.... 

Rukshana creates in an assortment of genres, from free flowing abstractions’, contemporary landscapes, soulful etches (charcoal), humanoid forms, Warli art to more traditional Moghal-Art & historic depictions. 

her dedication 

For ‘ruks’ her family has been the biggest inspiration and it is her two children and her loving husband who continue to support and encourage her to go on. 
her thoughts 

Thoughts and words from the Artist...MY LIFE IS A MIRACLE... 

ruks feels her life is based on ~ What you sow, so shall you reap and what goes round comes round...!!! 



...Was working @ Resham Creations as a Designer, 

@ Laxmi Vishnu as a freelancer, 

@ Searock as a Front office receptionist, 

As a Teacher for Art /Craft/Calligraphy in an Orphanage 

And in a Health Spa too……!!!! (named Zahra) 

Words by Rukshana...Am influenced and inspired by the Books i read, & the more i read the more inspired I am… 
...Wish i could eradicate bride burning, dowry deaths, female infanticide, bribery, unnecessary killings, arrest Global warming, stop felling of trees, stop killing animals and birds, Love and Preserve nature, Love thyself, Your Beautiful Surroundings This Mother Earth, which is so Amazing so inspiring, so beautiful, cherish it hence all of that is displayed somewhere in my Artworks. 
I am a perpetual student of learning, still a child, learning, un-learning and re-Learning, that quest for knowledge will forever remain..... 
I also Love Music, and am totally lost in there which also inspires me to paint.. 
My Art Works are Semi Abstract, are eco-friendly and they speak volumes about nature and environment. My Medium is Mainly Charcoals, with Texture and Acrylics on Recycled eco-friendly Handmade Paper, or Stretched Canvas. 
Its very unfortunate that in Our Beautiful World, there are fights, killings, assassinations, bloodshed, all in the name of The Creator and We are HIS Creation. 
Education is part of Life and before I reached the Modern Education System I never knew the world is divided according to Color, Race, Religion, under the same sky, sun, moon and on the same planet !! 
We are each like individual fish, swimming in a watery world, separate yet connected to each other as the great ocean of consciousness flows through us, so why the discrimination...!!! 
I feel my Paintings depict new Beginnings, a chance to re-live in the beauty and bask in the glory of nature...!!! 
Beauty has no form still I try to capture and create it on my canvas... 
"I feel very blessed to have this opportunity to express myself through paintings. I love it when people say my artwork enhances their lives.” 
Lines from an Art Critic : "Her subject is never a story but a lyrical and takes you in a world of fantasy which is sublime in nature." 
This little canvas, is my book, i am no orator, no writer, no poet, hence i express...WITH MY BRUSH.... 
.. i feel, painting is my Life, which has helped me to understand myself better. 
I was born to become an Artist, it was my Destiny!!
