Lino printing

I have decided to teach my self Lino printing and I am pretty happy with my Lino cuts. These photos are just the trail prints I do to know how my Lino print will look and if I have to change anything.

Mystified Feelings

I had a long strip of canvas and thought i can do small paintings with a common theme. Then i thought it would be nice to paint my feelings, and THAT would be the common theme and i can fill the length of the canvas with small 6x6 inch paintings.
This is my first painting depicting my feelings on the day i painted it (which has been a few weeks back!) and i like the idea of filling up the canvas this way :)

I love this painting - just dont know why!...I feel everything about this painting is just right - the colours, the texture and the tone.
      But.......... now that i see it on the blog, i feel the mountains in the distance should be a bit more hazy and blur.

Mirror Mango


Lately I have been obssesed with Indian Folk art and this painting is inspired by the traditional mango motif and folk design. The mango motif is called PAISLEY PATTERN and seems to be quite famous.

My painting is a diptych, one is the reversed image of the other hence the name "Mirror Mango".  I would love to see the diptych hanging in an ornate, hand carved frame (without the protective glass and the supports) when its finished.



Colours that never fade....

This is my newest (is there a word like that?!???)....painting inspired from the peacock feather and its colours - bright, bold, beautiful. The whole painting is heavily textured and the colours blend into one another to give a feeling of oneness.
