                                                   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

I received a pack during Xmas/New Year. It was from Yoon See of Greener Pastures. She is one of my oldest friends in bloggyland. She's a genuine and a loving artist from Malaysia. She's one of my loyal readers who inspires me everytime she leaves a comment or message. Her words have always made me to strive to do better. I was extremely excited...

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

The name SoulBrush(Jocelyn Rossiter) is what caught my eyes first. She is one of my oldest blogger friends in this bloggyland and one of my favourite; for her free spirit and will-do attitude. I feel the word “impossible” is ne’er to be found in her dictionary. She’s agile and would accept the challenges of art and life alike. Soul’s art does touch my soul…it’s creative, innovative, fun and

Sharjah International Book Fair – Final Part On both the earlier days I couldn’t ‘see’ books and bookstalls…I could meet only the authors. So on Friday(25-11-2011), we made it to the bookstalls, drifted around devouring the titles and pictures of the various books and wishing to own this ocean of mesmerizing Other World of letters. I bought some for my litlun but couldn’t get one for me…the place

We drove through the panoramic coastal view, overlooking the Gulf of Arabia and the Straits of Hormuz and finally reached the small fishing village of Al Khasab. One can hire a dhow for a whole day or for few hours. Our trip was decided on a very short notice and so we had to be satisfied with 'brunch' from Texas Chicken , snacks from Lulu and Enoc Petrol station on our way.

Hello Friends I have been busy with so many things at a time! I was feeling invisible, coping spirituality & practicality/reality in one go, following the path of Lord Buddha, trying to remember Robin Sharma, trying to be Super-human, but all in vain:) Finally I have rested everything on the shoulders of the Lord to resolve. Somethings are best left untouched else it will muddle the whole thing.

Yesterday when I was rummaging through a pile of my ol stuff I came across these wonderful flowers I had created some 12 years back. These, my friends, are fabric paiting. I had actually cut this piece of cloth from my dad's uniform cloth...It was indeed my first attempt at painting on fabric. In the first picture you could see that the paint had spread a bit coz I wasn't sure on how much to

Missy and Senita together posing for a snap to treasure their first meeting. Senita arrived from London on a short visit to meet Missy. That happened two weeks before. Last week she was in Africa. This week she paid a visit to Australia. Senita is on a world tour I believe. Here's Missy wishing Senita 'Good Luck!' Happy Cactus Monday! For more cactus pictures, visit Teri. ps: Thank you

"A smile happens in a flash, but its memory can last a lifetime" That being said, it is also true that people are stingy with their smile. What I would like to say is "If someone is too tired to give a smile, leave one of your own, because no one needs a smile as much as those who have none to give" Smiling Beauty was done in 2006. I am so much in love with this picture I made in Illustrator.

This is a glass painting I tried few months back. I saw it in a calendar. I was drawn to it (especially the eyes) and wanted to try it. Arabs are very fond of horses as almost everyone would be well aware of. They have the finest horses here. This is dedicated to that Arabian Spirit.Hope you all like it :)

Glass painting of a Ruby/Red-Throated Hummingbird and blooms. I completed this before going to India in June. Finally displaying it. Its a very simple one but I wanted to paint this just for the sake of the ruby-throated angel. The effects aren't very clear here as its always very difficult to take pictures of glass paintings. Not enough sunlight reaches here and the flash becomes prominent in

I have been doing digital art for sometime now mainly coz if I lay down my art materials once, it will take sometime to clear off 'the mess' as mentioned by my husband. Moreover space is a great concern for people like us living in Dubai in a flat.Today I thought of making a zentangle atc...with a pear cactus in the limelight :)If you could give a keen eye to it...you could notice the details.

Digital art again... 'Paperboats' was done in photoshop and illustrator. I like the glow the best! I enjoyed making each bit. This is a mirrored one as part of my practice session. I am a bit nostalgic about this one as the paperboats, I believe, is part and parcel of childhood. Whoever forgets making paperboats to sail in the running rain water along the drain:)

Phoenix rising was done while I was studying photoshop. It was also selected as one of the best works among the students at that point of time:)I had labored on it and I was pretty happy with it. It had too many layers cozit was done from scratch... purely my imagination! I was very fond of this pattern; these are arty parrots and I tried it on glass which I finally placed it in this window back

'Marbles In Water' was done sometime...3 yrs...back, when I was studying Graphics. It was done in illustrator. I worked hard on it..tried out some stuff and explored some 'secret tools'and was extremely happy with the result though there are few flaws.
