Glimpses from the past 6...

Love these pots that I have done 13 - 14 yrs back...

This was done using epoxy putty and acrylic colors

This one was done using chalk powder mixed with gum paste  into dough
and painted with acrylic colors

glimpses from the past 5...

Done these paintings 15yrs back...

This was done on Raw silk, all the fabric parts were painted in pointillism style

This is a 40"x 40" painting done on pure silk

Glimpses from the past 2...

Here comes another set of pics...

Contemporary Poppies...

Acrylic painting on a 10" x 30" canvas panel.

Pop Art Blossoms...

My craziness for colors can be seen in this set of three paintings.

Ceramic tiles on canvas...

A set of 3 pieces, inspired from hand painted ceramic tiles. I have used acrylic colors on 10" x 10" canvas panels. Poured clear resin on top to achieve the ceramic tile finish.

Floral one stroke paintings...

Done these a long time back on black foam board...

Multicolored pansies on a glass bowl...

Simple Stain Wood Birds...

Morning Glory...

Abstract stained wood...

A set of 3 stained wood, simple abstract design, in this set I have used Golden crackle paste to add a little rough texture which I feel enhanced the beauty of the very glossy colors...

Still experimenting...

Another experiment, this one is not up to my satisfaction mark...

Lipan work...

A very long time due project almost 15 yrs!! Started few pieces almost at the same time but could not finish them, left them in India. Finally after all these years, burlap canvas panels from Michael"s inspired to make another attempt and this time I finished it, yeah!!!

Tribal women from Gujrat (India) use this art form on their interior walls to reduce the heat during summer, always loved this art form sharing with you my version of this ethnic art form.

Used epoxy putty to do the line and mirror border work, got the hand cut mirrors from India, at that time I did not think of any particular project, just loved the shapes and bought them.

Hand Painted Saree...

A very dear friend of mine was moving back to India, though I was not happy with the news I wanted to give her something handmade by me which she will cherish for a long time.
After a lot of thinking I came up with idea of gifting her a hand painted saree, she did not want any floral designs and asked me to do something different and something close to Mehendi designing. Now that was a challenge for me as I have never done a full saree in this style. Earlier I have done many sarees with floral free hand painting, but never a mehendi kind of designing and was afraid that I may not be able to do an entire saree without repeating the design, but to my surprise I have improved a lot and did the entire saree free hand without repeating the design anywhere.
I am really happy with the work and my friend loved the saree, now here are the pics for you all...

Its a very beautiful sky blue Georgette saree with a silver shimmer border

The color palette I have chose is very unique but goes really well along with the blouse.

Everything that looks white in this pic is actually painted using silver glitter to go along with the border.

The self blue color I have used is once again glitter 

In this pic you can see the blouse, the reason behind choosing this color palette.

I was so tired after finishing the saree ( it took me one whole week) that I did not have any energy left to take good pics, I apologize for the picture quality.

Hand Painted Kurti...

This is one of the long due projects, been thinking of painting this Kurti from a very long time, finally it is done and must say love the ethnic look!
