The next Ganesh


This next painting is another charcoal Ganesh on canvas called Veena Ganesh . Veena is a musical instrument of India and it epitomises the knowledge of music as it is also the instrument of Goddess Saraswati the goddess of wisdom, knowledge and art

Coming back to our Ganesh, he is serene and calm and an art lover in love with music



Hello Art Lovers,

Welcome to my art gallery, my love of variety has urged me to experiment in various media, techniques and themes. As I was never formally trained in art, you will have to excuse the unorthodox and unconventional forms and lack of style

Having put in all the disclaimers in place, please go ahead and enjoy and I would welcome any reasonable comments and feedback

This first one (above) is a charcoal Ganesh, the elephant headed god with the power to destroy all obstacles and barriers in your path. I always start with him as he is not only an all powerful god but also the most interesting art subject, can you imagine the proportional conflict of an elephant head with a human body.


The story of the elephant head is also very interesting, but that probably another time...
