Deer visit in Backyard - oil painting

 A visit of this beautiful golden deer to the backyard and clicked by my daughter - it was a golden opportunity for a painting which I would never miss. The deer had sensed that she was being watched, and turned her head, slightly popping her ears to catch sounds.

Shanku Pushpa Ganesha - Oil painting

Shanku Pushpam (Shanku flower) is believed to be a favorite flower of the Lord Ganesha. These flowers grow in abundance once the creeper is well entwined into the garden. The delicate nature of this flower is so refreshing to see in the mornings. They are an integral part of my assortment of flowers that go into my daily pooja.
This painting is on display at Reve's Art Gallery, #32, 45th cross Jaynagar 8th block, South Bangalore till 30th Sept 2015. ph 099019 31314.

Two Paintings of views across Lal Bagh Lake - usha shantharam

Standing at any point on the radius of the Lal Bagh Lake gives a breathtaking view of the opposite side of the Lake's bank.  

Two such views are the paintings of  'Jogger's Pathway' and ' The Lakeview Reflections' done in a panoramic format. 

Jogger's  Pathway

oil on canvas

12"x24" 

framed

The jogger's path with a border of orange Jacuaranda trees in full blossom, and a fencing that is barely visible, throws a colorful reflection on the almost still waters of the Lal Bagh Lake - disturbed only by a gentle breeze that blew delicate ripples on its surface.  Irresistable for any plein air painting aritst like me, this view soon became a painting .  

Lakeview Reflections

acrylic on canvas

12"x24" 

framed

The interesting design formed by the jogger's path on the left, the bridge, the S shaped curves of the palm tree and the huge crowns of the trees on the island -  all these combined with its ditto reflection on the almost still waters of the Lal Bagh Lake inspired me into painting this breathtaking view 'en plein air'.  

A view of both these paintings - now framed; as displayed during the recently concluded group art show 'The Drawing Room Musings'.    

'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. 

Sunrays Peeping - Indian Landscape oil painting - Impressionist style

SUNRAYS PEEPING

The beautiful natural park surrounding the Mysore University Campus, is a great place to catch the sunrays peeping through the tall trees. 

I was paticularly interested in painting the almost-silhouted trees against the direct rays of the sun.  The trunks of the trees seemed to be glowing in the warm sunlight. 

This is an oil painting on canvas of size 24"x30" done in Impressionist style.

Buddha Oil Painting - PEACE AND TRANQUILITY -YOUNG BUDDHA

YOUNG BUDDHA - PEACE AND TRANQUILITY

I have seen many artistic versions of the Lord Buddha, and found one thing in common - Peace. 

In my version of Lord Buddha, I have attempted exactly this - to create an atmosphere of Peace and Tranquitly. I decided on a young Buddha with calmness radiating in the face, seated in the 'Dhyana Mudra' in a green forest,  where the deer are feeding on the grass without fear of hunters. 

This is an oil painting on canvas of size 24"x32".

PROFILE OF A RED ROSE

'Profile of a Red Rose' is an oil painting on canvas of size 6"x8". - Rose Series
Painting a rose is always a challenge, because no two roses are ever the same.

God had created this rose in such a vibrant red, that the temptation to try it on canvas was great.
I have applied thick oil paint in the 'impasto' style to give the textured effect, and chose different types of red to create the light and shadow effect.

This may take some time to dry in this cold weather of Bangalore but it was a pleasure painting this 'profile of red rose'.

In memory of my mother who had loved and lived well. Painting one's own family involves a lot of feelings. I just hoped to capture the radiance and love she always spread when she entered a room with her million dollar smile.
