ఎందరో మహానుభావులు...

Legend Singer - Padma Vibhooshan Dr. K.J.Yesudas

"సాహిత్యం వల్లనో లేదా సంగీతం వల్లనో

ప్రత్యేకతని సంతరించుకునే పాటలు కొన్ని...

"జేసుదాస్" పాడటం వల్లనే ప్రత్యేకత

సంతరించుకున్నవే ఆయన పాడినవన్నీ...

అంతటి మహనీయునికి సభక్తితో...

"A great work is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty."

- Nadia Boulanger

Every Painting has a story behind it.

Did this Painting on a request from the committee for a music concert by Dr. Yesudas in Texas, USA to raise funds for Sankara Eye Foundation. The event happened but the auction did not. The committee tried their best though. The value of this painting remains unknown for now, but it costed me 2 days of my precious weekend days that are invaluable to me.

Never get disappointed with your efforts!
Happy Painting!

Let your smile show you the results...

Smile...
Watercolors on Paper (11" x 13")   

Let your smile show you the results of your efforts, and let your smile be the result of it. We all know that nothing can defeat a Smile. Yet, we forget to have it. Always start your work with a smile and end with a smile. The result will quietly be quite different.

Half way through it, I almost gave up on this Painting as the paper was very challenging. At one point, I  even thought of starting it over on a different paper. There came out a Smile on my face. I smiled and continued working on it to capture that stunning jewel, the Smile that the lady in the portrait is wearing. I finished it with a Smile.

My Smile gave me this result and I love it. I love my smile, I love the result it gives me.

This is certainly one of my best so far, and I myself have been staring at it several times ever since I created it. Makes me feel like I climbed one more step in Painting by this. It's all nothing but the magic in that Beautiful Smile ;)

"Never regret anything that made you smile."

- Mark Twain

Happy Painting!
Smile and let it's result make you smile even more!
