Tropical Beach

Atlast finished my painting.. had actually drawn something else before my India Vacation (yup! I was there in June..).. Lost the mood to paint that.. So I painted this now. Hope its gud

Fuchsia

Another one from Dewberry's book. Loved this flower.. havent seen a real one.

Bird of Paradise

Got Donna Dewberry's painting book from library.. painted the flowers from that book.. planning to do more from that book

Roses

This painting is yet another dual color technique experiment. In this case, the brush had to be dipped in different color on either sides and stroked on paper at correct angles. Simple yet good picture

Hibiscus

This was an amateurish painting from me :P I like the hibiscus though. That came as a perfect watercolor art. Nevertheless, this decorated(?!) our walls for few months.

Branch with Flowers

This was my first painting after shifting to US. I started painting after a long gap. So this was a trial effort. The main thing that I find interesting about this painting is that there is an element left to the onlooker’s imagination as there is no definite beginning or end for the branch on which the flowers are

Peace Lilies

I did this in 2008 when we had started building our house. I wanted to do paintings that can adorn the walls of our living room and bedrooms. But that dream is yet to be realized as we shifted to US just when our house was ready. Anyway, I am saving these for that someday:)

Birds on a tree

I painted this painting in two days over a weekend in 2007. I saw this pic in internet and wanted to paint it. What I like most in this painting is the red flowers on the branches. The detailing of those flowers took the maximum time. I also liked the strokes of yellow on the birds. The birds remind me of the sparrows that I used to see as a kid. I wonder where all those sparrows have gone now. The sparrows were brought in by the British when they came to India (that’s what I heard) and their count has decreased considerably now  I used to throw bits of biscuits and grains (when I get my hand on them) to the sparrows at the opposite house’s roof from our window.
