Change has come... And how !

I am so inspired by the presidential inauguration and the great mood that I decided to write on the blog and share some of the great spirit of freedom and freshness that I felt

Since a change has finally come... I decided to share some of my pencil sketches that show landscapes that try to display a sense of openness and freedom, a feeling of natural grandeur and fresh air.

I use some of these sketches as projects for my art students and get great enthusiasm from them.

The joy of light at the end of the tunnel

So after a great election and a great celebration of light at the end of the tunnel I thought I should break my silence on the blog

Here is one of my paintings that celebrates the festival of lights and shows a traditional women from India lighting lamps to celebrate 'Diwali ' the Hindu festival of lights that signifies the beginning of a new era and the end of a dark period

This is an older painting and is an acrylic painting on canvas framed in a wooden frame

As usual all reasonable comments are welcome!

Some new old paintings

So I decided that however busy I am I will post some new paintings on my blog regularly.

These new ones are actually old and I had painted them sometime in February . They are acrylic paintings depicting one of my favorite subjects namely Flowers

Well it is summer and you can see a host of different colors and species of flowers growing wild and in beautifully cultivated gardens. My favorites are Daisies as they are the happiest of flowers(That is a dialogue by Meg Ryan from 'You've got mail' I think) and in Februray I was really thinking of Tulips so here they are!
