Monsoon Magic...

For me, monsoon is mystical and magical. A lazy afternoon of fogs, rains and mist is the time I love to paint most....and in a long drive, it takes me to a different and unsettling(as my friend says) world of imagination. So, when my friend took a photograph at their Cherrapunji trip and named it...Mist, It fascinated me and I tried to create the mist with watercolor. With some addition and deletion, I came up with this...hope you all like this.

The Desert Dancer

The fascinating Kalbeliya Dancers of Rajasthan had always fascinated me. Their typical yet unusual black attire with white applique and the transparent veil flowing against a setting desert sun had ever made me awestruck. Though I've captured a very simple pose here, concentrating more on the attire which I love, these dancers can be very acrobatic with their serpentine agility while dancing to the nagging tune of a 'pungi'.....

Invasion of Dish...


As I was on my way to my Grandmom's place almost after a decade, I could see the changes that took place along the way.Massive concrete roads instead of the usual pitch-blend ones and the villages....thatched houses are replaced by shimmering tinned roof and most significantly, I noticed the invasion of satellite dishes with each house flaunting one of its own..

Village Lad

Another portrait....this time of a lad from my native place Assam. I tried to capture their simplicity.

Manipuri Maiden

Thought of going for a portrait in watercolor....and found a photograph of a manipuri girl. What's more appropriate than this while in the North-Eastern part of India?

Musings

After seven long years I'll be visiting my birthplace...meet my grandmom...for all these I don't mind staying away from my writings even for a month...but my colors and canvases...they just follow me wherever I go...:)
