Light at the other end

Here's my second one for the theme - Art with Architecture. I browsed through lot of buildings and photos. I found this one very interesting - again the building was in shambles but light shining at the other end does bring thoughts of hope and joy!

I enjoyed using brushes only and with Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil and very limited palette: Cadmium Yellow Pale Hue, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, French Ultramarine, Phthalo Green (BS), Yellow Ochre, Titanium White.

Beauty In Shambles

Friends, this is a place in India - city called Bundi, near Kota, State - Rajasthan. The city of Bundi is known for its ornate forts, palaces, and stepwell reservoirs known as "baoris". The beauty and serenity of this ruins captured my attention. Hope you enjoy it!

The Vibrant Banana Blossom

There is something very intriguing about a Banana Bloom - such large flower and stunning colors! Growing up we had a banana tree in our backyard. Not only did I enjoy looking at the blossom, but the banana blossom curry is a delicacy that we enjoyed occasionally.

Ganesha - SOLD

I am a big fan of this elephant headed deity called "Ganesha". He is popularly worshipped as the remover of obstacles. All ceremonies and rituals begin with invocation and worship of Lord Ganesha.
This was my first sketch on canvas in this year and finally got to paint and so happy to have finished this painting!

Hey Look - There's an Owl on the Tree!

This painting comes in continuation of the Fleamarket painting. Just across the road from the Fleamarket, there are trees in line all along the sidewalk. On the sunny afternoon it felt nice to walk in the cool shade of these trees. Just then, I happened to look up an spotted an owl on the tree. Quite a good luck on that day!
