A Perfect World!

Art allows me to depict my dream world, where peace and innocence reign !

Indian Street Scenes

Indian streets are vibrant, full of life with no dearth of variety in terms of people and vehicles. It was a challenge painting these, and I learnt a number of new painting techniques along the way!

Rustic Scenes

Many of the paintings I have posted here are composed from photographs taken while travelling by car to nearby tourist spots like Wayanad and Coorg, with some added elements from imagination :)

Child Labour- Not a Child's Dream

Child Labour is still very much a reality in India. When we were on a road trip to north Karnataka, where poverty is rampant, I couldn't get some of the images out of my mind. Here are a series of paintings that reflect the lives of these children...

Water Colour Portraits

I love the challenge of water colour portraits- to capture the characteristic features and expressions of people on paper. Many of the works presented here are commissioned ones, some are of family and friends.

Children and Animals

Animals and children share a special bond- I have tried to capture some of their moods here in these in black ink on handmade paper (14" by 11").
