Double Portrait...

"Double Portrait"

Portrait of a Newly Wedded Couple

Watercolors on Paper (10" x 16")  

Like many Artists by nature, I like to be accurate with anything that I do. Painting portraits push me  closer towards achieving that. A failure doesn't matter for success, but every detail matters in a successful Portrait.

This portrait is first of it's kind I have ever attempted. It's not a single portrait, it's a combination of two portraits in one. Theory of probability applies here. With two portraits happening in the same painting, the probability of making it more accurate multiples by lowering down chances of success.

When one of my School seniors sent me text from India asking if I could do a portrait of his Son who was getting married, I didn't have to think before saying "Yes, Anna, I will.". To keep my word, I did this for him to present to the newly married couple. I wish the new couple, "A Very Happy Married Life"!

Happy Painting!

Happy successes and failures!!

Happy Mom and Son...

"Happy Mom and Son"

Watercolors on Paper (8.5" x 11") 

 

బొమ్మలని అభిమానించే రోజులు తగ్గిపోతున్న రోజుల్లో ఎవరో తెలీని అభిమాని "మా తమ్ముడి బొమ్మ వేసివ్వగలరా సార్" అంటూ అడిగితే "తప్పకుండా" అన్న మాటకి కట్టుబడి వేసిన ఈ బొమ్మ చూసి ఆ అభిమాని చెందిన సంతృప్తి కి వెలకట్టడం సాధ్యం కాదు. అందుకే అప్పుడప్పుడూ ఇలా తెలియని అభిమానులు అడిగితే వేసే బొమ్మలు "చాలా ప్రత్యేకమైనవి" నేనేసే బొమ్మల్లో...

"To a Child, mother is the first person, the first teacher, the first care, the first love, the first smile...the first and the best of everything in the world!"

Yet another reason to Smile...

"Yet another reason to Smile"

Portrait of Chi. Bhuvan

Watercolors on Paper (8.5" x 11")  

మన "బాపు" పుట్టిన ఈ రోజు

అంతటా తెలుగు బొమ్మల పండుగ

మా "భువన్" పుట్టిన అదే రోజు

మా ఇంట చిరునవ్వుల సందడిగా

రంగులు తోడై నవ్వులబొమ్మ పండగా...

Yet another reason to Smile in my life- my dear Bhuvan!

Since that first day of his very first Smile when Bhuvan came into my life, I have had a bigger reason to Smile. Today, it's been 18 years of that magic Smile!

A Smile on a face always reflects on another face. A Smile with oneself reflects on one's own Soul. A Smile with your loved-one reflects on your life!

With a Smile on my face from my Soul, I wish my dear "బంగారు బాబు"

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY with MANY MANY SMILES of the day!

"A child's smile is worth more than all the money in the world." ~ Lionel Messi

Don't know what to do...

 

Indian Classical Dance

Watercolors on Paper (8.5" x 11")

Sometimes, we get into the state of "don't know what to do, but want to do something". Not knowing that something is what gives an opportunity to explore. There is always something to explore. Never stop exploring your skill and see what more you can do with it.

"Sometimes, not knowing what you're doing allows you to do things you never knew you could do."

~ Nell Scovell
