Lord and Lady - Miniature Painting

Miniature paintings - Lord and Lady

Acrylics, 9x12 inches each excluding the frame

My first attempt at miniature paintings.They are from Rajput school of Art. I liked the outcome. What do you think? I love the shape of the eyes...eyes have always appealed me in every painting. I focus on eyes a lot in every painting I come across. I am happy with the shades as well. These are Twin paintings and they would surely create a sense of old world charm :)

Happy Vishu

Vishu marks the New Year in accordance with the Malayalam calendar. Vishu starts with Vishukani which means the first sight after waking up. It consists of a ritual arrangement of raw rice, fresh fruits, golden cucumber, coins, our traditional dress, gold jewelery, mirror, golden shower all placed in a bell shaped bronze vessel in front of Lord Krishna with the lamp lighted. Actually we walk with our eyes closed to this arrangement and open our eyes to see it the first thing in the early hours of dawn. It is supposed to bring us prosperity the whole year through.  Back home firecrackers are burst with great fervour which we lack here.

Vishukani - Watercolour, 10x7 inches

Wishing all my dear friends a very happy, peaceful, prosperous and a safe Vishu, Tamil New Year, Baisakhi and everyone else celebrating their New Year :)
