In the Woods

I have been wanting to do this painting ever since I saw the “Scheewe Art Show” on PBS. The opportunity presented itself in Frank’s birthday. I thought I’d paint this forest landscape as a gift for his birthday. I liked it and Frank loved it too :)

 

An Indian Beach

This is technically the longest painting I’ve ever done.. This has taken 2 years to complete.
Yeah trust me! its true

Started this painting when I was in India and we were building our house (2008). I wanted to decorate the interiors of our house with my paintings and Frank accepted! So I searched and searched for ideas, finally landed up with this beach scene. Me and Frank’s cousin did the mountain in this painting. Then we also did the sea and sky, but after that Frank had to come here and the painting stood still for all these years.

When I had gone to India for a vacation this June, I saw this painting and got it with me here.. I just finished painting this today and felt so happy completing this. Do comment on what you think of this piece of art!

Fawn in the Wild

My latest Painting - my first on canvas. Have added painting's stages of development too :)

Indian Village Scene

Tried to paint from a photo.. Hope the cattle look like cows :)

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

Autumn leaves

Upon Cerun's idea, I have drawn what I liked the most in US. I was fascinated by the colors of the leaves during the fall season - never seen that in India!! It was lovely and I enjoyed the season. So I have tried to draw the autumn leaves in their beautiful orange, red and purple colors just before they fall.

Another natural landscape

This one's yet another landscape painting. Landscapes are fun to paint and I paint those places where I covet to be. This location (if it exists!) would be an ideal place to spend a Saturday's evening don't u think??

A winter scene

This is my latest painting. Completed this 4 days ago. Shows a winter day scene after a good snow

A house near the fields

One of my favorite paintings. Required a lot of patience and detailing. There are so many small small details that add to the depth of the painting.

Boats on the deck

My husband saw this pic in internet and wanted me to paint it. I have tried my best to bring out the different blues in the sky and the blues and greens in the water :) One of my personal favorites.

Beach

This is a painting of a Beach with a Dad and his two kids along with their dog taking a view of the sea.
When I was a kid we used to stay in Triplicane - a place near the marina beach (one of the world's longest beaches). We used to go to marina very often esp during summer evenings. How I miss those days!!
