Just got back from Bombay (10 days) with good memories......

TIGER IN EVERYONE

You do not have to be your mother unless she is who you want to be.
You do not have to be your mother's mother,

or even your grandmother's mother on your father's side.

You may inherit their chins or their hips or their eyes,

but you are not destined to become the women who came before you.

You are not destined to live their lives.

So if you inherit something, inherit their strength, their resilience.

Because the only person you are destined to become......

is the person you decide to be....

This painting is for all those who have somewhere inside them a tiger hidden.....

I have made this painting on 30 cms x 40 cms, 100% cotton, acid free & unbleached canvas. I have used oil paints. The sides are painted in continuation.....as it is visible through the pictures I have taken......

First time tried painting a furry look......loved it....

Happy Weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

This is Hema and her angel daughter Anushka

This is made out of the old picture (below) I had of theirs.

In this Anushka was small. It was taken in April this year.

This one is from the latest pics sent to me.

Anushka is called Bebo.

These sketches are made on A4 and A3 size paper with pencil.

A woman is the full circle.

Within her is the power to create, nurture, and transform.

In this painting I tried something different than what I did uptill now.

I have given her rosy cheeks and the outline of nose has been done only with shading.

I love to experiment and I did.

Thought of sharing with all of you.

It is made on 20 cms x 30 cms unbleached canvas. The sides are also painted.

This painting is of... not a complete face.. but 3/4th. I think it is visible. I loved making this one with a difference.

This is my piglet (Ishita). I call her piglet as she is a piggy as per chinese calender.

Just tried making a sketch of her as I wanted something in black n white for the bedroom.

Thought of sharing with all of you.

The world would be a nicer place for everyone, it's true,

if everybody, everywhere,

had a daughter like you.

You brighten the world around me, in a very special way.

you deserve the best that life can offer for all your endearing ways.

So may your world be beautiful and filled with happy days forever.

I will treasure this always and will show you when you become big.

My daughters inspire me in their own ways.

I see the world thru their eyes and it is indeed so beautiful.

the next would be for my elder one ..... working on it.
