Welcome to a Virtual Tour of…

A Proud BirdTiny in size, but tall in his own way… a proud bird. Very colorful as well. I painted this proud little bird sitting on a branch, beautiful leaves and delicate branches surround him as he looks at something in a very focused way and feels the breeze of Spring…

Medium: Watercolor on handmade paper

Pretty BougainvilleaBougainvillea flowers looking pretty in the wind. The petals of the flower seem like they are made of delicate, soft paper. This contrast of soft pink flowers and delicate green leaves was looking very pretty swaying in the breeze one evening. Out came the hand-made paper and paints and here is the result :).…

Dancing FlowersNot sure why, but to me, these flowers look pretty and dressed-up like Indian dancers. And they were indeed dancing as the wind moved them :). I painted this bunch ofvibrant colored flowers and leaves using water paint.

Endless Shades of DahliaI was so amused by the beauty of Dahlia that I decided to make multiple versions of this flower applying combinations of different colors. With its innumerous petals all beautifully placed together, it is hard not to appreciate the charm of the flower. So, no – it is not Photoshop because of which you are seeing multiple variants of this painting :).

Medium: Watercolor on paper

Mauve FlowersWhat can I say? I love flowers and nature. So here is yet another one – a flowers’ painting – Mauve and Beautiful. They look happy and hence make me feel happy. This is a still life painting made with water paints. Because it is a still life painting, we can see different shades and shadows which gives it an overall feel of life in general – which has various shades.

AmalgamIn this painting I have tried to show the fusion of beautiful music and the perfect moment. I feel that evening around sunset is the best time for enjoying playing music. So, while imagining that melodious moment, in my mind there came the image of Pied Piper – a pipe player and I decided to make him the hero in my painting.

Madhubani - AquaThe Madhubani Art, practiced mainly in Bihar (India) is characterized by geometrical patterns and the attention to details that are given to the art work. The medium used for creating the paintings vary. For this painting, I have used fabric paints on cloth. With fishes on four symmetrical sides and leaves in between – this is my first attempt to add the Madhubani art to my shelf.

Medium: Fabric and Acrylic on canvas

Size: 12 in × 8.9 in

Bird in SnowThere is snow all around, the brown branches and this beautiful bird’s contrasting colors together make up a beautiful imagery. The bird seems to be contemplating about something in the midst of the wide expanse and peacefulness of the pure, white snow…

The CalmUsually horses are associated with energy and activity. But have you seen a horse when it is all by itself, perhaps waiting to take instructions from its master? Doesn’t it look all calm and peaceful?

Delightful SpringHere I have painted these two birds similar to me in the sense that I love spring time more than any other season. Reason is because during this time, there are colorful flowers blooming everywhere and the pleasant weather is a bonus...

Bright TulipsTulips are very colorful flowers. In this painting, I decided to make the background black to give the Tulips a brighter look and more contrast against the background.

Moon on the HorizonI had made this painting by imagining that I am in the sea on that boat near the moon on the horizon…



My Cogitation of Sea World, USAI just love going near the sea and watching the water, waves and animals. My love towards the world of sea reached a new high when I visited the Sea World in USA. After visiting the Sea world and watching the dolphins’ show, my desire of painting it became very strong. And after 3 years, I painted them on my canvas in acrylic colors...



Sunup TulipsI have painted these Tulips as if it is morning and they have just bloomed to blossom our morning…

A Long Shadowy PathKharagpur, India, where I used to live before moving to Bangalore, is very green and beautiful. There are many such paths (like the one you see above) where people take dreamy morning or evening walks, enjoying the breeze and the beautiful views of nature around. It is refreshing for both the body and soul. I used to go around one such path every day in my wheelchair and was inspired to capture this on paper.

Endless Shades of DahliaI was so amused by the beauty of Dahlia that I decided to make multiple versions of this flower applying combinations of different colors. With its innumerous petals all beautifully placed together, it is hard not to appreciate the charm of the flower.
