She seemed to know she was about to be painted. Her expressive eyes and soulful expression inspired me to create this pet portrait for my dear friend. This Indie breed doggie giving the puppy dog looks- goes by the name Tataghat.
Tataghat is a brown dog wearing a red collar resting on a stone surface giving the 'Puppy dog' looks and creating a serene atmosphere.
Displaying for the first time four of my treasured paintings from 'The Herd' series, as these were my father's favorite paintings.

Sharing some beautiful moments of the show.
Life has a beautiful way of surprising us, sprinkling moments of magic when we least expect them. In today’s ever-widening web of connections, it is remarkable how we can reconnect with friends after decades apart.
Meeting a dear friend again—albeit virtually—after nearly half a century was such a joy. The familiar dimple in her cheeks and the unmistakable twinkle in her eyes remained just as I remembered, unchanged in time and spirit, instantly lighting up my heart. That cherished familiarity inspired me to paint her portrait.
Portrait painting has always brought me deep satisfaction and delight. Capturing the likeness and emotion of a living, multi-dimensional person on a two-dimensional canvas is both a challenge and a thrill—made complete when I see my muse recognize herself in the work.
