Painting of - WALK ON THE HIGHWAY

WALK ON THE HIGHWAY

Painting tiny people walking away into a distance was a challenge.  I had to create an illusion of saree clad women and panche clad man and a boy, all of them in motion, and also giving the impression of them guiding a herd of donkeys, which is not even visible in the painting.  Probably the lone donkey on the left gives a boost to the imagination.   Apart from this, creating the illusion of harsh sunlight hitting the backs causing dark shadows to fall on the earth was also a pleasure to paint.  

The Herd 2 is an acrylic painting on canvas of size 12'x16".  

'Glass Vase' still life acrylic painting

GLASS VASE

My collector from Patna purchsed the 'Glass Vase' painting after seeing a picture of it in the 'Paintings for All'  blog .  So I asked him after the painting was delivered, how he liked it.     I was very pleased when he wrote to me saying that he rated a 110 out of 100 after seeing it in real life.  Thanks to him, my day was made.   

This is an acrylic painting on canvas of size 6"x8".  This painting was done during a real still life project, whicn I set up for my ART CLASS students, and I too decided to paint it. 

Painting of SHEPHERD ON THE HIGHWAY

SHEPHERD ON THE HIGHWAY

The shepherd leading his herd of sheep is a common sight on our multi-purpose roads.  Note the hay spread on the road to dry - so many uses for our roads apart from vehicular traffic use.   The Indian roads are definitely worth every paisa of tax payers' money.   

This is an acrylic painting on canvas of size 12"x16".

'Morning Shadows' Oil painting on canvas

MORNING SHADOWS

I have been occupied with a couple of family functions during the last month, and hence the gap in blogging; although my mind was constantly on it.     

But I have been busy painting too, with this landscape painting, and also a  portrait of my father, whch you can see by clicking on my PORTRAIT COLLECTIONS.   

This painting is another gem of a view of an old tree that I used to see during my morning walks around the Mysore University Campus grounds.  'Morning Shadows' is an oil painting of size 23"x30 done in an impressionist style.
