Nov 2012 - 014 Stone Age
Water colour on paper
Stones and rocks .... always a very interesting subject to observe, to paint. Seems each one has an identity, features of its own and sometimes I also feel that they have their own distinct personality too.
Nov 2012 - 013 Seasons a Study
Water colour on paper
Changes in Seasons.... Year after years..... Still something is new always.... Something is beautiful.... always. Mother Nature never ever comes up with something ugly.... Everything is always beautiful.... whatever it is.
A small study to depict 2 seasons on the same spot...
Nov 2012 - 012 Tranquil
Water colour on paper
A warm afternoon... The Sun just about starting its way down... The air is warm still but sometimes it brings in a bit of cold breeze.
Just the right time to maybe..... just sit in the cool shade of the Banyan tree...... or take a dip in the water ..... or just walk around the banks. Do anything but be sure you will feel peaceful..... energetic again... The healing powers of Mother Nature.
Nov 2012 - 006 Diwali Pahat
Water colour on paper
Diwali ..... a beautiful festival. The festival of lights. The festival depicting the victory of Good over Evil. the festival bringing families, communities and even religions closer.
Lanterns are lit in every house. There are fire crackers bursting everywhere. The whole atmosphere is divine as if the Gods are also taking part in the celebrations on Earth.
Here tried to get in the Divine atmosphere going... :-) Just tried.... cos Divine is always Divine and therefore can be felt only... :-)

Nov 2012 - 003 Soothing
Oil Painting on Canvas
This is a Commission job done for one of my Friend. She wanted something on her wall which would take her away from the daily grind of life. Something which would bring about a certain calmness in the mind and soothing feeling in the heart.
Hope I have able to achieve that.
Nov 2012 - 002 Somewhere in the Mountains
Water colour on paper
Driving in the Sanhyadri Mountains many times we come across such passes. Where it narrows a bit and as you pass this the landscape just open up all its vastness. The actual pass is sometimes lit up gloriously with sunlight and the other times its in cool shadow. Sometimes it is just hard black rock and the other it is covered with green grass. Sometimes small trees with colourful flowers are shooting up and the other its just plain simple mud.
The pass here depicts all the above and feels like the landscape is about to open up as soon as we pass it. Come lets walk......
Nov 2012 - 001 Natures Play
Water colour on paper
I am just dumbstruck many many times when I see the "Natures Play". The vast Mountains, The Extensive Sea and The Beautiful Sky. I just love watching the sky.... seeing the clouds play with each other... mix into each other sometimes and sometimes just drift away. Sometimes just spilling out and the other getting together to make a huge scary stormy sky.
All in all the Nature makes me happy... Here I tried to just drift away with colours and this happened.

Oct 2012 - 10
9.5" x 14"
A calm, cool and pleasant Evening. The Sun is soothing the earth with its last rays, as if saying good bye with an assurance of meeting the next day.
At this moment the peace is just beautiful. Sitting below a tree and just taking in the Peace, the Beauty of Mother Nature. Enjoying every leaf, every twig and every blade of grass. The breeze that passes on me, the clouds which merrily dance in the sky. Everything is just so perfect, just so calm.
Painting this scene put me in such a state. Loved every moment of it as if I was there enjoying the scenery, taking it in, living it.
Hope you get that feeling too.
Support
9.5" x 14"
My Heart goes out for the Kids who have to work. I am absolutely devastated when I see such scenes. And am more than devastated by the feeling that I cannot do a thing.
The other day while walking in the city a small girl approached me. One hand asking for some money and the other small hand clutching a big hunter. After some time she used to swing it around her body in such a way that it would make a noise. I know there is some trick in it and usually it does not hurt. But I am sure while learning it the small one must have had some stings.
And now even though the stings of the hunter might have seized but the stings of the empty stomach, the stings of roaming in the sun, the rains and the cold and the stings of life.... still remain and loom large over this small life.
Hope she gets all the support she needs and deserves.
Order Completion
9.5" x 14"
Every day after completing the house hold duties early in the morning The Lady sits just outside her modest home in Pune and gets on with it. First she has to cut out small, flat strips out of the bamboo. Then she starts weaving it carefully and beautifully to make various articles. Its wonderful to see the way her fingers move. Many times we are not able to notice the joints. Its amazing.
Small and sharp wood filings sting in the hands causing pain and irritation. I asked them how they remove it, got a reply with a needle......
