Far bank & river view

This is an inspiration from Monet's art. The far bank and river fill woman's field of vision. The surface of water is unruffled. The reflections are intact. What she sees,and what we see with her, is a world of reflections, a watery,upsidedown world of pure visibility that only exists in the eye and under these conditions.

Krishna 's journey to Nandagopa's abode

It is always my interest to read the interesting ancedotes of Sri Krishana's early phase of childhood. One such extract is about Krishna being born to Devaki and Vasudeva at Kamsa's palace. Kamsa had his fears of being killed by eighth son of Devaki. So Devaki and Vasudeva were kept in prison. Krishna was lifted to Nandagopa's house before dawn. So that was the childhood abode of baby krishna. This extract was inspiration to paint this picture.

Two leapords at beach

This painting is just a wild dream of two leapords resting happily in a shelter on a hot, summer day near ocean front, which may be only in imagination!

Multinova falls of Portland

We visited Portland, Oregon in 2003. We had wonderful vacation there. We visited a couple of interesting places like Japanese Rose garden, Omani science center, Crater lake and Multan falls. I was more fascinated to view this gushing water falls surrounded by lush grenery. After my return, i wanted to paint this pic since the memory was still green in my mind. So , this thought is brought out to all viewers in water color picture.

Dushyantha's samagama with Shakuntala

This painting is about the great king Dushyantha meeting Shakuntala in the hermitage of Maharshi Kanva. Shakuntala is with her friend fetching water to Kanva. Dushyantha, who is on animal hunt happens to sight this beautiful damsel and her friend. He is taken away by her beauty and charm, pleads Shakuntala to tie wedlock in Gandarva manner . So goes the narration . Bharatha, the famous king who ruled Bharathavarsha (India)was the son of Shakuntala and Dushyantha.

water front view

The inspiration to sketch and paint this picture is from our vacation to myrtle beach during last summer. We had taken waterfront resort for our stay. It was so soothing to spend a couple of days away from our hometown, Hampton from our busy routine. The beautiful clear water, and the endless seashore was really breath taking. Vedu, our little girl and Rakshith had nice time surfing in water, building sand castles and collecting shells. Hope one can visualise this picture in mind,feel and enjoy!

waterfront resort

We visited Hawaii in 2006. After visiting beautiful spots like active volcanoes, beaches and underwater world by submarine, we had nice drive to countryside in the evening. The houses at yonderside of the water really attracted me. After my return, i just give thought of giving colors to my imagination of these scenes which was unforgettable in my mind. It is worth mentioning about our family friends Sheshadris who inspired me to join them in this wonderful trip to Hawaii. Thanks to them. Guess, i have made sincere attempt to bring life to this picture.

Animals in Amazon forest

I happened to see this picture in one the books I read. The fascinating background of lush green grass and the horses grazing around,the gushing water inspired me to sketch this picture of horses and it's background.I have used watercolor pencils to color this painting on watercolor paper.

Savana grassland

we usually get season greeting cards during Christmas season. The source for this painting is from one of the greeting cards. One can view the Calm river flowing at the backdrop and nice,green, spiky trees at the backdrop. The animals are happily pasturing in the vast grassland.

Veda in suit for school photograph

Veda or vedu, as we call is in her formal suit for her class photo. She looks so good. Doesn't she? We are really proud of her!

pandavas escape from lac palace

TThis painting is about Duryodhana's plot to bring an end to pandavas and Droupadi since he always had ill will towards pandavas. So he got built a lac palace away from Hastinapura and offered Pandavas to live there. But they sensed the evil thought of Duryodhana to kill them. At the dead of the night, they set fire to "Aragina Aramane" and escaped along with mother Kunthi and wife Droupadi. This is my small attempt to give life to my thought and bring it in the form of painting.
