Suzuki Hayabusa Watercolor Portrait

when im a refugee
when im dumb enough
to stand by you
and ready to be left alone
once again
i ride my bike
my forever girl.

forever girl.

Was just talking to a friend of mine savioth who is a bike racer and is recently going through a heartache. This is what I just said to him, “Move on…. just keep ridin’ your bike, she is your forever gal.” and these lines came to my mind. Bikes are forever your gals, they never leave you alone, they get hurt when you get hurt, and instead they take more of the pain. I have my forever girl.

Regarding this work, well it’s a blast from the past. As clearly indicated it’s a work from 2000, when I used to paint with watercolors. It’s a Suzuki Hayabusa done in watercolors. Actually I had completely forgotten this work, its just that a longtime back while talking to ~savioth only, it came to my mind that I had drawn two water colored bikes and so I spent two days finding them in my rooms. One of them is here, ill post the other one later. The original dimensions of this work are about 15 * 9 cms. Yes those are the exact dimensions. I used to draw very small works and this one is one of many. I know that the work is not really detailed and is pretty raw, but I drew it with just one brush. All the colors and details you see have been painted with one brush only. So no wonder that its rough.

And this oldie artwork goes to gramarye aka Renee and her cats. Renee has been a great friend and has been an agreeable helper who has always been there to help. I wont talk about who she is at DevArt and what she is more known for, coz right now im taking her for just a friend of mine as an individual for who she is, for who she is with her cats and for who she is with her kids. Thanks a lot for being there Renee and for you do. This work is not really great, but its from the times when I used to draw for pleasure and so I hope you will accept it for a dedication.

Outside DevArt, I want to dedicate this work to my most deadly enemy Krishnan Rajagopal aka eno/ The Prof. who is basically a software engineer. Whenever I find him at Yahoo, I wish he was dead and I always ask for his confirmation if he is dead yet. But seriously he is the best mind I have ever found between two ears. There is no topic on which he cant give a long lecture with facts and accumulated data, and if he can, a dozen of links n internet. Met him at Skoar forums and I seriously regret the day I met him. But yes, he is an asset to have around, a great friend, so numb and so down to earth (how I wish he was under the earth). Here it is eno, this one is for you. Well its an old work of mine and I hope our friendship gets old like this one. Don’t mind my positive thoughts about you, you know I really mean them… lol

AFTERTHOUGHT: Alive im not, Dead I am.
