Muse



Muse
by Rukshana Hooda

I Have been inspired by the book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, & hence i painted this...
This represents the Relation corner,
the wealth,
Blessings from above all that you wish for..in a nut-shell,
happiness...TOGETHERNESS, Love, Blessings, Unison, Wealth, Money, Prosperity...!
This is size 24" by 48" on Stretched Canvas + Texture
A little about the book....

~~~FAITH Is Knowing One Of The 2 Things Will Happen
There Will B Something Solid To Stand On
OR
U Will b Taught To Fly.......This is a feeling Universe. If you just intellectually believe something, but you have no corresponding feeling underneath that, you don't necessarily have enough power to manifest what you want in your life. You have to feel it.

Ask once, believe you have received, and all you have to do to receive is feel good. When you are feeling good, you are on the frequency of receiving. You are on the frequency of all good things coming to you, and you will receive what you have asked for. You wouldn't ask for anything unless it was going to make you feel good in the receiving of it, would you? So get yourself on the feel-good frequency, and you will receive.

A fast way to get yourself on that frequency is to say, "I am receiving now. I am receiving all the good in my life, now, I am receiving  now." And feel it. Feel it as though you have received.

So feel good now....!
The principle of feeling good applies to your family, pets, etc.
 Animals are wonderful, because they put you in a great emotional state. When you feel love for your pet, that great state of love will bring goodness into your life. And what a gift that is.

"It is the combination of thought and love which forms the irresistible force of the law of attraction."

There is no greater power in the Universe than the power of love. The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. If you could wrap every thought in love, if you could love everything and everyone, your life would be transformed.

In fact, some of the great thinkers of the past referred to the law of attraction as the law of love. And if you think about it, you will understand why. If you think unkind thoughts about someone else, you will experience those unkind thoughts manifested. You cannot harm another with your thoughts, you only harm Yourself. If you think thoughts of love, guess who receives the benefits - you! So if your predominant state is love, the law of attraction or the law of love responds with the mightiest force because you are on the highest frequency possible. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing.

"The principle which gives the thought the dynamic power to correlate with its object, and therefore to master every adverse human experience, is the law of attraction, which is another name for love. This is an eternal and fundamental principle inherent in all things, in every system of philosophy, in every Religion and in every Science. There is no getting away from the law of love. It is feeling that imparts vitality to thought. Feeling is desire and desire is love. Thought impregnated with love becomes invincible."

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!!

Thoughts and words from the Artist...

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)

Was a Home Maker for many years, till My Kids pushed me to Painting after seeing a little Sketch i created on the last page of their Home work book & well that did it...Started Etching, Sketching, Painting, experimenting with various textures and colors...!!!

...Am influenced and inspired by the Books i read, like The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, Many Lives Many Masters by Dr Brian Weiss, KRISHNA, The God who lived, Translated by Bhawana Somaaya and many many more, 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 still a child, Learning, un-Learning and re-Learning, that Quest for knowledge will forever remain.....

I was born to be an Artist, it was my Destiny!!
With art we can speak to each other as human beings all over the world; regardless of the language we speak in our daily life, art is a universal thing – it binds people together, it creates bonds between people from all over the world, it expresses feelings that we wish to share, gives us insight into life
