Stroke 2 - Landscape


This painting was inspired by a tutorial on how to draw trees. At the finish of the painting I think i like the way the lone tree has come out and the gradations of black blue green and yellow on the horizon.

Stroke 1 - Adi Shankara


Adi Shankaracharya was the first philosopher to consolidate the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta, a sub-school of Vedanta. His teachings are based on the unity of the soul and the Brahman. He is regaded as a Guru amongst the Smarthas. My tribute to him through this painting.

Click 2 - Yearning



I like this picture for the blue hues and the way slender branches move up yearningly to touch the sky. It makes me feel like I should capture this in watercolour too. This was taken from the moonroof of our car while parked in our apartment complex

Click 1 - First Snow


This is a snow scene from our balcony. It may not be the best one but I could not resist capturing the first snow I have seen on celluloid. It was a marvel watching the snow fall like white cotton candy. It amazes me how the heavy ice can fall so smoothly softly and gracefully
