Lotus and Koi fish...

Started doing some free hand paintings on small canvas with acrylic paints, here comes the first one.

Lotus has always been one of my favorite flowers, specially when done in chinese style. I have done the Koi fish for the first time love them, they are really easy to paint.

This is done on a 10" x 10" canvas using acrylic paints. 

As mentioned above, I have started working on a series of small paintings, so I will be doing posts more frequently and always leave your wonderful and inspiring comments.

Basket of Roses...

Sharing an old work of mine, the roses were made using crafts porcelian, and the twigs and basket were made using wire bought from Michaels. The frame was plain unfinished wood when I first bought it, it was not complementing the painting so painted the frame using acrylic paints.

Rajasthani Katputtli !!!

Made a set of three paintings as a gift to a friend of mine as she is moving into her new home.

I intention was to give her something colorful to brighten up her new home, so decided to do a painting inspired by the colors of Rajasthan. 

I have used epoxy putti to make jewelry for the female puppets and turbans for the male ones.

Added mirrors to the center of the bird and for the eyes.

A closeup to show  the patterns.

Side view to show the 3 dimensional jewelry.
