I have tried hard to showcase the beauty of nature through canvas oil paints on previously taken photographic rebound of my pictures. While all canvas paintings were donated or sold cheaply to help various cause towards environment; I still have the canvas picture replica of those canvas paintings.
This is to show that while our environment may not need us but we will always need it....to breath, to live, to sing, to laugh, to save...save earth..save us
Mother Nature provides what we need for our lives. Living in nature gives us endless pleasure. Lap of nature is just like the lap of his/her mother for a baby. It provides us our food, our water, our livelihoods — they all come from nature.
But, humans are taking more than what they should take. The destruction and exploitation of nature is destroying our best defense mechanism against the current changing climate scenario, which is the nature itself. Saving nature is the only way to save ourselves and it is possible to live in complete harmony with nature.
The Himalayan Alpine climate is a harsh environment and very few animals and plants can live there. The few plants that do inhabit have to adapt to the freezing temperatures, high winds and to a short growing season. That is why most of the plants grow low to the ground. High altitude Himalayas are arid desert with a panorama of high snow-capped peaks and bare multi-hued hills sculpted by the forces of nature. The climate is extreme with long snow bound winters and a brief three months’ summer. Rainfall is as low as two inches per year and it is the melting snow flowing swiftly down the rocky streams and rivers that sustain habitation and meager crops.
Himalayas are full of life. here is peace, serenity and life which lives within these mountains. Enjoy a fine piece of artwork done by Bhavna Karki in below pictures to showcase some aspect of Himalayas and Himalayan life.
