Krishna with his playmates in the woods
This painting is about Krishna's early part of Childhood in Vrindavan. Krishna attracts his companions by his melodious notes on flute. Even the peacocks, Swans are carried away by the pleasant tunes of the flute. So this is the inspiration for me to sketch and paint on canvas.

The inspiration for this painting is from one of the greeting cards I got during the festival.The backdrop of the palace attracts one's view in this picture.The young maiden fascinated by colorful lighting of the palace and the surroundings is inspired to light the sparkles during the well lit night. The intricate design of the carpet is added attraction in the picture.

flower girl
I was on a vacation to my hometown, Bangalore,India, a couple of years back. I had fascination to visit all the gardens in B'lore which is considered as a garden city. The Lal Bagh is the wonderful garden that interests me more. It was a beautiful morning, the day i visited. The young girl seated near the lake with her flower basket, watching the ducks grabbed my attention. The beautiful flowers, lush grass and the rising sun and the flower girl invoked my painting spirit to give life to this thought. So, this is the water color picture i painted.

Rocky Bugal rock
I happen to visit my hometown in 1991, There are many worth visiting areas in and around where i stayed with my family people. One of them is famous Bugle Rock. As the name implies, this place has huge rocks nicely shaped. The steps carved in the rocky place leads to a sort of Gazebo, from where one will get the nice view of the surroundings with temples and other nice buildings. I ascended these steps, a bit hard though, to have a nice look of the bugle rock and the garden there. Just felt, why not i give life to this thought of making more pictureque by sketching and coloring with bright colors. So this is the picture that I could paint.
Materials:water color paper
colors: blend of blue, brown, green, red

Myself and Veda visited one of the parks during Spring Season. As the season indicates, The flowering plants were in full bloom and swaying gently in the breeze.

Nereides,sea nymph
This memento was a gift from my nephew , who visited Thailand some time back. It inspired me to sketch this maiden and paint her.The Nereides were depicted in ancient art as beautiful young maidens, sometimes running with small dolphins or fish in their hands. Hope I will be able to visit this beautiful island sometime.
Darpana Sundari at Belur Temple
I was on vacation to my hometown in 1992. My interest was to visit the famous temples of Belur and Halebede, near Hasan Dist, which is known for their architectural and sculpture work. During the rule of Harshavardana, who belonged to Hoysala dynasity, a famous sculpturist known as Sri Jakanachari carved these sculptures on the walls of Belur temples. The most interesting one was Darpana Sundari, a dancer looking her reflection in the mirror.
So i thought of etching herself on a metal sheet, which is called engraving on a metal. I hope this takes one's mind to that historic era of great Empire and famous sculpturists of that time.
Materials: metal sheet, engraving needle, black paint

honolulu beach
I visited Honolulu which is one of the Hawaiian islands. It was a beautiful beach that inspired me. There are many active volcanic spots in the islands of Hawaii. The water is very clear, turquoise, and is very light aqua.I saw surfers having a great time surfing on water. After my return, the scene of the was still lingering in thoughts. So I thought of giving life to the picture by a way of painting.
Florida beach
our family visited Disney world last Dec. We had great time seeing the interesting Theme parks like Magic kingdom, universal Studio and Epcot Center. We took a day off from there and visited Beach. It was wonderful sight to see the vast span of ocean and waves dashing the shoreline. The surfers were having great time. This was the theme for my painting. After our return, i picked my palette, brush and colors to give a life to my theme, which is the result of this sea scape.
