My first painting for the year starts with Kerala Mural style Lotus which is the symbol of divine beauty, grace, purity and elegance. It represents the purity of the body, speech and mind even though springing from muddy water of attachment and desire. It is also said that where ever Lord Buddha stepped a lotus bloomed. I wish the year 2012 is a benevelant one.
I have been in love with Kerala Murals for a very long time. From the time I started creating them I have been passionate about them. If you search the Net you will find loads of set patterns and designs. I wanted to create something of my own that is traditional yet contemporary. This is my first attempt at triptych. (Triptych is a painting in three parts)
I have used Lotus which is one of my favourite themes. White lotus represents a state of spiritual perfection and total mental purity. Being a piscean, the fish came naturally :) That wasn't intended! I have tried bringing about different textural effect in different hues.
Hope you like it.

I recently saw this painting on Artist Of India blog and then today at ARTE's wall and thats how I landed on this blog. I have been exhibiting with ARTE since October but somehow I never saw you... Do let me know if you are exhibiting on this Friday...
Lovely Deepa...I loved the colors you have used...Lotus is in white still appealing..:)
Love all of them. It is indeed a good way to start this year. Just as wherever Buddha stepped a lotus grew, so be the same with your beautiful paintings too, every house has a painting by you.
Have a great prospering year!

Yes Deepa, I'm from Kerala. Art is my passion too, love Kerala murals. Thanks for visiting. :)

Absolutely love the painting. Wish the canvases were a bit bigger though. May be it is me, I have a thing for big canvases. Discovered your blog today after some blog hopping. I too am self taught and took up mural painting last year on a whim. Can't wait to check out the rest of the paintings.
the colours are artistic... good art often is unsold.

They are so beautiful Deepa..Just loved how you combined the mural school and the modern school of art..awesome!
Very attractive, lovely colours!
Deepu.....Magnificent work, dear! Purity, thy name is Lotus! White Lotus, in all its glory, which is the embodiment of perfection, purity, elegance, and exotic fragrance...It's such a visual beauty! How wonderful it would have been if each one of us become as pure as this exquisite flower...in thoughts, speech, and deeds!! The holy flower, which is the seat of Brahma, God of creation, a great choice for mural painting...:) Also loved the 2 fishes, complementing each other in the water perfectly well...:)You said, these fishes unknowingly came to your mind, but it's very apt for this concept...
colorful beauty!
Love it! Such happy bright colors--simple, pure & cheerful! So pretty...
I can see this made into a puzzle for children. If you were to make a professional high-quality scan of it, you could sell prints, cards, etc. with it. Personally, I'd buy them. :)
