I am standing on the crossroads. Soon I'll have to make a choice...

Shiva in my mind

Ramakant Mahadeo Kuli

'Aaba' (grandpa) is what we called him. He was our guide at Pratapgad (a fort) near Satara, India. This 72 year old man was very cute, enthusiastic and a sort of babbler. Behind this facade, I felt he is an untiring, experienced, self-seeker trying to make ends meet. This effervescent person made our trip very joyful and memorable. Thanks to him.

As a kid I was fascinated by his dance & music like many other kids those days. I'll always remember you Michael...

Landscapes

Tried these two landscapes from Artist David Bellamy's book "Painting wild landscapes"

The small blob you see in the first painting is due to mixing of ultramarine in cobalt blue of two different companies. They didn't mix well and created the mess :(

Padmabhushan awardee Tyeb Mehta passes away...

Born in 1925 in Gujarat, Mehta was initially working as a film editor before he decided to pursue art. In 1952, he got a diploma from the prestigious J J School of Art in Mumbai.
Mehta became a close associate of the Progressive Arts Group, a group of artists who drew stylistic inspiration from Western Modernism, during his education at the school.
He went on to work in London for five years between 1959 and 1964 and later obtained a Rockefeller Fellowship to travel to the USA in 1968, a journey which he said had influenced his style of painting...

The poet

Panthera tigris sumatrae (the making)

The final strokes of the dark stripes were applied at the end. The surrounding area was painted green to create a feel of the wild. This completes my version of the Sumatran Tiger. 

The faint tones were then added and then the dark tones of the water were applied 

First I made a basic sketch and started with the eyes.

Sumatran tiger is smaller than the Indian tiger. The tiger is known for its stripes, and the Sumatran tiger has stripes that are a little closer to each other than some other subspecies of tiger.

Chinese fishing nets (Cochin, India)

Kochi or Cochin is a very important center for the spice trade attracting traders from far and wide. Some suppose that the nets were introduced by the Chinese explorer Zheng He.
