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!

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 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.

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.
