 Another commission, crafted for one of our dear family friend, the demand for a folk based and colorful painting was enough to take my mind to the Santhals, their simple lifestyle, the Palash flower, red soil and mostly white attire, everything so color coordinated. To add to it , the nine figures that I drew resonated so well with me and my eight friends that everyone were thrilled watching the finished picture.

Commissions during Covid

 A very late post though...all these lotuses were commissioned by one of my acquaintance. Her requirement was simple, each lotus must be unique in colour and shape. It was peak Covid, the second wave and I had plenty of time as I was quarantined, painting was the only way of keeping my mind  refreshed. 

Kolkata nostalgia

The red house with its shutters in green and hanging balcony hovering above, the yellow taxi that's an icon and the hand pulled cycle rickshaw, Kolkata charms can make one nostalgic. Another commission work. 

Kolkata vibes

 A big commission work which demanded I incorporate few of the Kolkata elements like Howrah bridge and Dakshineswar Kali temple. Howrah bridge gave me some nightmares and I felt I had been doing some sort of Engineering drawing 😀. Playing with plenty of colours kept me going and the client loved it.

Avneesh

 Lord of the world, without whose blessings I cannot think of starting a new venture. 

A small round canvas of 18" diameter can actually be challenging but fun to work on. Textures had been my interest off late and this one is not exception.

Pure Bliss

It's undoubtedly a pure bliss to be able to create out of nothing. My unmindful abstraction continues...... 

Abstraction with texture#2

 Acrylics can be fun, more so, if your mind is blank and thoughts do not relate. 😊
