Radha Krishna with a small change...

 After finishing the stained wood Radha Krishna, I was not totally satisfied with the result, there was something that was bugging me, the finished picture was not giving the mood I was looking for.
Radha's eyes were looking drowsy, and there was no way I could fix them as it not a regular painting made with other media (like oils or acrylics) which can be fixed, resin and clay lines once dry  become hard like rock and can not be changed, and if I paint over resin the glossy ness disappears, yet I could not help myself from the urge of fixing them.
   I finally decided on changing the outline color of Radha's eye balls to black, which if did not work out can always be changed to white as the out lines were painted with acrylics. The minor change has changed the entire look of the painting and i'am pleased with the result.

Some how the pictures are not doing justice to the painting, I have added glass pieces on the leaves,Krishna's head band and the peacock feathers and the look like white dots, so I took some closeup's
to show the details.

Diyas for Diwali return gifts...

Having a Diwali party at my place and wanted to give small return gifts to the ladies, did not have enough time to make candle holders for every one, so instead bought these terracotta diyas from an Indian store.
Initially planned of giving the diyas as they are with a gift wrapping,but could not help myself from all the decorating ideas brainstorming and ended up embellisging them with some gold paint and kundans.


I feel the golden paint enhanced the intricate design ...

Finished painting them all, now time to add some kundans

Totally fell in love with the end result

Couldn't help from taking ore pics


Time to gift wrap

One down few more to go

Done packing, enjoyed every minute of the work and loved the end result, hope the ladies  will like them.
