PRIDE !!!!!!!!

The force of gravity versus the aspiration of perfection. Only women with strength and will can hold on to these earnings. This was the face of rural India simple yet beautiful with character. How easily women of rural India could take on daunting tasks is my expression through this painting....!

                                                                                   

thanx chandrika for sharing this picture & rest of them from your adventures Gujrat trip.this one talked volumes to me & felt like trying my paint & brush..

OIL ON CANVAS..

Abstract...rock formation

have you noticed rocks ''the giant ones' how they form ,each one has some special feature or the shape....some of them look so well sculpted..being here in Arizona i see cactus & rocks all around....red rocks, giant rocks..rocks..

  i took reference for this one from a picture my friend took while camping in lake Powell...shot is taken in a narrow canyon  botton to top..flash light  off , sunlight streaming from above  making top  lighter then the rest...giving two shades to the picture..! ( oil on canvas)
    

Green Phoenix...!!!!!!!!!

Well here im with another painting.. i saw the picture of their primary area in my daughter's school's web page..!  it instantly caught my attention...reason, obviously shot was well taken, then (1) it looked so nice and refreshing to eyes...green..! (2) then the new addition to their playground 'slide' which my daughter keeps chatting about...

   anyways, i guess i just liked it & wanted to paint..

Green Phoenix...!!!!!!!!!
