Reinventing Jamini Roy

                                                   Acrylics, 9x12 inches

It's been a couple of months since I have been wishing to reproduce some of the works of One of my favourite artists, Shri Jamini Roy. He has been a great influence and his works are close to my heart. I love his simplistic and elegant style. I have tried to recreate this work, inserting in 'Me' though. Like the necklace which is partly visible in his work has been completed here. The colours too are a  variation. Eyes are definitely a deviation from his. He's unmatchable and yet I hope you like it :)

I should definitely thank Gloria of Gloria's Blog Viva La Vida for her Inspiration which finally provoked me into action. Her new year resolution finally set me going as well.

My daughter, Anoushka's (Krishna's) effort
she is 8 years old

A commendable one at that, what say? Do click here to view the complete picture. You will not regret it:)

  3. Hi Deepa,
    Thank you for the kind words on my recent post. It was a coincidence I too was checking your art posts with Jui and talking about you while we also had multiple talks about our desire to shift to Dubai. I hope we do meet sometime. You are in Dubai right?
    Btb Anushkas new painting on Jamini based, has come out superb. I shall comment on her post separately.
    Cheers
    Sush

  31. Wow! I am very please to see your masterpiece of reinventing Jamini Roy.

    They do look alike but I actually love both equally the same.
    Jamini Roy's one is more poster feel whereas yours are added and reinventing with more sweet, gentle and feminine feel & touch!

    You are a very good artist that look into the overall mood. Be it the heart, mind and spiritual touch.

    Thank you for making me smile Deepa!
