Sparrows

 Oil on Canvas. - 24" x 20" inches.
I couldn't see sparrows these days. Went to a remote place a couple of weeks ago and I was delighted to see the sparrows after a long time......Captured them on Canvas... I love those cute little birds which are getting extincted these days.

                                                             Water Color on Paper

This painting was done a long time ago...but i couldn't upload this. I actually forgot to take a picture of this painting before getting it framed....had to take a pic from the glass framed painting.
I was able to capture the light and shades on her face and the body and also the water droplets on the wet body of the lady and her hair strands are captured in this painting.

I have got three good news in a row .....
First news I got was,I received jury award for the Carpenter Painting(Can see my previous post for this Painting). I finished that painting almost over night. I had Painted it after a gap.Got a very good appraise from the critics for this Painting.It was indeed a good news that I am happy about.

Second one was I passed my First year MFA which I appeared in the Months of July-August. I was indeed a bit down at the time of my exams......but I am very happy that I passed my First year MFA....Now through to Second year MFA.

Third one was.....Five of my students won laurels in various different painting contests. I used to win so many Painting Contests when I was at School and College, and now its my students whom I train up are winning the contests. Five Prizes for my students in a season......I am re-living those wonderful winning moments again. Its absolutely blissful.

Can't figure out which one is the sweetest :)

Got First Prize in a Painting Contest on Traffic Saftey conducted at Book Festival today. Participated in an On the Spot Contest after so many years.Gone nostalgic down the memory lane.Since a couple of years I got used to in attending as a Judge for Painting Contests for School and College Students,attending Workshops and Art Exhibitions, but this contest was quite refreshing for me. It was totally unexpected,I just went to Book Festival on some other work and unexpectedly attended the contest and got First Prize. It was indeed a wonderful experience.
