Red
One great thing about small paintings is that one can experiment, can afford to make mistakes. Tomorrow one can make another or just repaint it. Thanks,

Too Ripe
This is another painting of the same bananas. I am preparing more fruits and vegetable Still-lifes for my up-coming event. Back in action and enjoying it. Since my last small painting of bananas is sold these are the latest.

One and a half
I don't have a set-up corner to call my studio yet and hence though I am dying to paint it is difficult. But it is great to be back with this one. Thanks.

Work in progress
I am doing this 20x24 oil on canvas. A woman working in a paddy field. Any cultivation is a time bound process. Women( and men) work on it rain or shine. Everytime we eat good food it is time to remember how much effort has gone in making it and how many people were involved in getting it to our plates. Thanks.

Radha-Krishna
One Gallery in Connecticut has liked this painting and wants to sell the prints of it. This is Indian mythological Lord Krishna and his lover Radha. These devine lovers are so much in love that they are not two souls, two bodies but they are one. That's how they are shown here. Krishna is associated with peacock feather, he plays flute and loves to wear yellow clothes. He is the dark one with color of dark clouds and Radha is the fair one. They are always together. Hope you like this and the little story behind it.

Life after the Summer Course at MASSART
Sorry for not posting for a long long time.I just finished a 3 week intensive course in painting at MASSART. I always wanted to do it as I don't have any formal training in painting. We were 10 people for this 6 credit course and we had a great instructor. I am full of ideas and my actual work begins now. We are allowed to use the studios for a month even after the classes are over.
I have done some new things in the class. One is blind contours. You look at thhe model/object you want to draw but not on the paper and almost meditatively you draw the lines of the shape you see without lifting the pencil/charcoal. It really helps loosen up. We did one minute drawings of the model with broad chrcoal lines called gesture drawing to capture the pose or form as fast as possible. Also for the first time I became aware of negative space around the subject and have started to see how it is important in architecture and designing furniture etc. when we did negative space drawings.
Sorry, no photos for now but will post them soon. Thanks and happy painting.

A plate and oranges
Thank you all for visiting my blog. For foil paintings I put the subject on foil and place colored paper at right angle i.e. flat to wall. The color reflects on the foil. It was real fun to paint these two, hence the name.

Quilt project
I know this is a painting blog but I am posting this picture. I have made these two designs after considering many for a small quilt which I wanted to make for a long long time. No 1 provides opportunity to have small accent pieces in the middle of a quilt. No.2 is continuous pattern. I am thinking of making longitudinal stripes and then piecing them together. I don't know when will I complete this project but here I am.

Go Sox
Sorry for hibernating for such a long time without any notice. But I am back and will be posting my small as well as big paintings and my sketches too.
Today is a start of the season for Red Sox. I don't really paint much from photographs. I prefer the subject to be in front of me. But in this case I have painted from snaps and I found it easier this way. Hope you like them.
