Rama and Sita in panchavati

Inspiration for this painting came from Rama and Sita. Though they were sent to live in forest they both had a lot of love and affection to give one another. I and my Husband mr.Murthy have lived life on this spirit. Through good and bad give one another the unselfish love and affection. I hope and pray that may Lord Rama keep his blessings on both of us all the time.

Dancer in Kanchi temple

I am really excited to write about Kanchi temple. The temple by itself is such a magnificent sight to see. The glorious days of Cholas and Cheras come in front of the eyes just by visiting the Kanchi Kamakshiamman temple. The beautiful stone workmanship should be appreciated by anyone who gets to see the artwork. My inspiration for this painting came from this temple. I feel really proud and joy at the same time to paint.

Krishna with mother Yeshodha

We all have heard stories of Lord krishna from our parents or elders in the family at some point of our life. I am fascinated by the enigmatic charm that lord Krishna possessed. though he was very naughty nobody could get mad at him because of his smile and charm that he possessed. There was such innocence in the mystic stories that were told about lord Krishna. In this painting I tried to bring in some of the naughtiness of krishna and the wonderful moment that he could have had with his mother Yeshoda.

A scene from Alaska

Alaska, I must say is really beautiful. I have heard and seen from people who have been there. Since I am fortunate enough to be North America someday I hope and wish that I get to see this natures beauty at its best. Though the pictures which I got to see portrays and depicts the beauty I cannot say that it would be enough to see such undisturbed beauty of mother nature. I tried to bring in a little bit of that beauty in my painting.

Spring blossom

I love the blossom of spring. The beautiful colors of the flowers and the garden is a wonderful sight. I have to tell painting a blossom brings in a kind of inner peace in itself. I always try to bring in the sights that I find fascinated and drawn towards in my painting. I try to relive the moment by looking at the painting. Though I must say that I am an amateur painter. I hope i have done justice to this painting.

Hidelberg castle

I have told in my earlier part that I was fortunate enough to visit Europe about 2 years back. I first have to thank Malini and Balaji for taking the interest to book for the trip. It was the most memorable trip of my lifetime. I got to visit so many wonderful places throughout Europe. However I feel Germany had the most wonderful castles throughout Europe. I cannot define the beauty that is the reason that I thought if I painted it would at least show some of the beauty that I got to experience.

Agra fort

Resort in New England

Somehow I feel like painting nature is how I connect with the world I guess. However I should say this painting is all my imagination as to how it would be in New England. I have never visited this place.Though I must say my imagination a lot of beautiful scenes do come up to the mind once I always think of this place. I hope it is the same with everybody's imagination of this place. I hope nature is always there for all to enjoy as nature is such a beauty that no photography or painting would do justice.

Wedding march of Pooja and Gautham

How happy I am today to write about Gautham(Pappu). I wanted to depict his and his wife Poojas wedding day. I just went back a couple of centuries back in my thought and wanted to bring in the beauty of Palaki and the Dula taking his bride with him. I hope Gautham you will be proud of me for doing this painting.

Meera singing the devotion to Lord Krishna

I have always been fascinated by Meera bhajan. My inspiration for this painting in the form of a greeting card by one of our friends. The moment I saw the card I was fascinated by Meera and her devotion to Krishna which comes out in the form of Bhajans. Every single time we go to sing a song on Krishna we always come across at least one bhajan by Meera. My hands itched to paint her. she is my inspiration. I have painted on acrylic and oil medium on a canvas.

Veda on the banks of Kaveri

Veda has got the inspiration to paint from me. She watches me paint and she is all excited to paint herself. I hope she carries this hobby for a long time. I have a painting of Radha on the banks of a river. She said she would like to paint of herself since she had visited the banks of Kaveri. She used water color pencils on a watercolor paper. I hope you all are as excited as I was when she did this painting.

Montana Glacier mountains

The inspiration to Montana Glacier mountains came to me in the form of a card that I received from friends who visited Montana for their vacation. It brought me a thought and a desire that I should visit Montana some time. I have still not got the opportunity. The thought and the desire to visit the glacier became my inspiration to paint. I am fortunate to be an artist. I can imagine how it would be when I personally go there. It is a wonderful thought and sight to see. I hope I did justice to my vision of the glacier. The medium that I selected for this vision is acrylic on a canvas.

Fisherman on Coramondal shores

The inspiration for this painting came from my visit to South India in the year 2007. I was fortunate enough to take a trip throughout South India through a conducted vacation. The whole experience and the beauty of South India is breathtaking. How ever the shores of Kerala was spectacular. The fisherman fishing early morning before the sun rise was a beauty in all by itself. These fishermen became my inspiration for this painting. The color palette that I have used is a different medium than the usual water painting and oil painting that I have been accustomed to. I have used glitter painting on a embossed material.

Shankuntala and Bharatha

Hindu mythology has many good stories. We have to go to the beginning of our wonderful country which was named after the son of Shakuntala. As the story goes Shankuntala was married to King Dushyantha. Due to a curse they both were separated. Shankuntala gave birth to Bharatha in sage Kanva's hermitage. One day Bharatha was playing with the lion cubs in front of his mother. My inspiration came through this thought and innocence of the little boy and his struggling mother.I have painted my inspiration in a water color palette.
