The Dawn




After a tiring day at office, I wanted to let the bright colours on paper fight the dullness of the mind.
Although could not suceed much as mind did reflect itself in the darker shades but the desire for brightness had also shown itself in form of the colorful rays of sunlight.

Buddha Leaves

This painting helped me take a step into the world where my  internal calling for painting can also give me a career. This is the first painting which I designed and posted on etsy.com for sale. I seek Buddha's blessings for the success of this new endeavour. I am going professional now :)

Flower for the Butterfly

I was trying to put my new painting on the wall and the moment I removed the earlier painting to make space for the new one, I saw remains of a butterfly landing on my bed. Don't know how long this beautiful creature had been there and when it passed away behind the 'Red Flowers'.  This painting in wax crayons is a tribute to the beauty which I wanted to capture forever.

Madhubani Peacocks

This one came out as another leisurely activity. I never took this painting as something beautiful untill it got framed. The bright colours of this painting has brought life to the dull wall of the room. Planning to try this madhubani art on an apparel; thanks to these peacocks, i feel like trying out more of this style now.

The Buddha

While doing my Vipasana course I always used to imagine Buddha with his curly hairs, sitting under the bodhi tree, guiding people away from their myseries. It took me quiet long to bring those thoughts together and paint the Buddha.

The Twin Ganesha


This was my first try with oil colors. My hubby gifted me with 'easel' and a set of oil paints on my B'day. The canvas and the brightness of the colors was so attractive that I couldn't stop experimenting ...
Till now I had  used only water and poster colors, working with oil was tough and needed lots of patience to finish this one. This painting is for Rubal, who helped me rediscover the lost love of mine.
