Tha Cascading Beauty

A trial with waterfall....still the fall doesn't look natural... I have to go for another.....

Paper Peacock

Made this peacock out of mountboard, marble paper anf foil paper for Ganapati decoration. The idea came up spontaneously. May be this is my way of worshipping the 'Bappa'....

Dieter's Delight...:)

The other day I asked my kiddos to draw and paint pears and found that even my pears were not looking healthy enough...so I started with this...a quick one in a rough handmade paper...hope I could bring in the luscious look.....:)

Gardener...

Our tireless gardener fascinated my parents more than he did to me at first. Then I noticed his everyday blue shirt and a cap with an oversized shade and the black three-fourth...pink plastic sandals to add to these. The wrinkles on his face and creases of his shirt hardly matched the sturdiness of his hands though....Our fondly called 'Malimama' was not a bad start for a life study and that to a difficult one  and I thought of giving it a go.

Misty Istanbul..

While reading Pamuk's Istanbul..I was browsing through the photographs inside and I came across this...a beautiful misty background of blue mosque in mist with Bosphorus on foreground...and I thought of quickly making this pencil sketch.....

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....

Jungle Trail

Rugged roads of Ranthambhore with its surrounding dry forest of Dhonk had been a favourite of mine. I painted this on a day when my thoughts were drawn to my Ranthambhore days.........

The Backyard

Sometimes, backyard is more interesting, especially for special meetings...A backyard as picture perfect as this can be a perfect meeting place for two persons in love.......

A tryst with black&white

Tried to capture the light on the walls of this ruin I came across in Ghorna near Shimla. They say its haunted........

Ganesha

I tried to create a mettalic effect....somewhat like a velvet painting with this..Hope everyone likes this.

Night scene after a rain

My street looks beautiful to me after a dash of shower. Poodles of water reflecting the flanking trees and occasional halogen lights simply makes it magical and mysterious.....

Fall Colours

Colours...and if its of  autumn leaves...is the most beautiful sight. To add to it, my romantic self would love to wander through a path surrounded by these colours of nature...Hope my dearest one gets an insight of this self of mine through this pic.

Seeking Attention?

Sunset and the Palms

A beautiful capture by one of my friend's hubby in their trip to Kerala inspired this painting...difficult were the shades as this was the first time I was trying a realistic sunset scenario with acrylic. I enhanced the rippling effect of water...
