Rudrani..........wasted

With her fiery, hollow eyes  she tries to tame the monsters around with hopes of forming a better world. Her motherly smile never fades out, but, can she really achieve her goals....since centuries now, Rudrani s are wasted.....😔😔😔

Of Pears and Grapes....



A commissioned still life.......It was a pleasure to paint this and I am pretty happy the way the fruits took the shape...not very happy with the jug but.

The Monsoon Splash...



Come Monsoon and people throng the Gateway of India just to get wet as the sea splashes, sprays and plays around.........and I am fascinated..so, when I came across a photograph, I simply couldn't resist myself...just that I couldn't seek the photographer's permission as he/she is unknown to me...apologies............

A Complete Woman....


As a child, I 'd be staring at the huge idol of Maa Durga in the Puja Mandap, awestruck by her stern yet beautiful face, the grandeur of her fineries and wonder why does she has to have ten hands....!! Now, I understand the symbolism behind every aspect of it. We don't call her mother for nothing...Her ten hands..symbolises the multitasking often done by all the mothers in every household around the world..and..her fiery demon demilition , if not destruction, at least rebellion against the social evils...She's flanked by her children as the Mothers always are....even in her work, her leisure. And her fineries, a woman's ever fascination for being the most charming and beautiful one.....A COMPLETE WOMAN...

The Mystique Cove

On a bright sunny day, in the backwaters of Poovar, I discovered this beautiful and mysterious tree cove. The engulfing darkness and the moving shadows of its peculiar flora gave the cove an eerieness and I was rather glad to see the flooding sunlight on the other side as we rode past it.

Soaked in Sunshine


Those beautiful days....... soaked in sunshine, under the blue sky, wary of woes...miss the childhood days when everything seemed beautiful and exciting.....

Facades of a Face

I am confused because the thought with which I drew this makes me so. It happened when I came across one of my childhood friends after 25 long years. My joys turned into surprises and shocks when I found out the hidden grievances and jealousy yet a sense of love and affection at the same time woven under the same face.....Human nature?

The First Catch....

It was there in that houseboat in the backwaters that I realised how near was the horizon, how colored was the sky and how lonely and helpless man is in God's world. This lone man who came for an early morning catch at the breaking of dawn had to be (dis)satisfied with the catch he couldn't catch....and we, the happier of the lot went to see far beyond him and enjoyed the colors playing with the grey clouds in the horizon...irony? Probably or maybe Life......

Morning Light

After all those difficult portraits, I thought of relaxing and refreshing myself with a landscape....what's more refreshing than to see the morning sun fall on mountains and greens around...I hope you all get refreshed too....MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL....HAVE THE BEST LIFE AHEAD...

That Lambadi Woman

The elaborate and ornate attire and jewelleries of a banjaran woman is ever fascinating to me. Besides, its a challenge to hold your patience until the last chain or drop. While painting the earlier one I mostly used my own imagination to create the designs for the ornaments...but this time I thought a little research will be of no harm....loved painting her tatoos..

Celebrating life

My love for primary colors is back with this....I did this on request but thought to give a twist by making a Rajasthani girl dance to the Dholak of a Santhal boy. Hope everyone likes....

Ganapati

This was quite challenging as I had to transform Lord Ganesha into a modern or say, an abstract form. The pose came suddenly in my mind....though an abstract, I couldn't refrain myself from painting the blessing hand and the delicious 'modak' without which I felt the concept would be incomplete.

Sunset...an Abstract

I joined this group of amateur photographers few weeks ago and saw a photograph titled black in nature...nice little composition of silhouettes of leaves against setting sun...thought of trying it out as an abstract and here it is.

A moody landscape

I painted this when my friend Gargi showed me a photograph of lake Periyar....God's own land has its own beauty and its known to the world, but, what attracted me was the cloudy sky with its moody reflection in the lake.

Silent Prayer



Hysteria, emotions, drama and sometimes violence, prayers are depicted in all forms. What I like is a silent prayer without any of such gestures at any time of the day and in any condition....

Capturing the light

Capturing the sunlight...that's what I wanted to paint...and why not on a mansion wall...some legacies...some fortunes...no harm in dreaming!!!

DUALITY

 Abstract is a field where there is a very thin line between a matured subject and a childish love for colour splashes. I started this on request....chose the subject but was unsure of its outcome.
Duality exists in every individual...in every relationship. A teenage daughter is still vulnerable but thinks and enacts as an independent and determined individual often countered by the mother. Probably...mother too is still vulnerable and tries to protect the daughter more than required. There is a clash of personality, of sensuality too.......

Stairs


A morose heart gives rise to peculiar thoughts..sometimes...a drop of tear or two which we hide,

but, actually wish our loved ones could see. Sometimes, seclusion works wonder..at that time, what's more prefered than a lone corner in the darkness of an isolated stairs?
