SHIVA

thumbnail study for Bhairava

studies in oils/gouache

oil studies, also if you can spot the header.

i thought i will at least update the post with more news and art.
Working on my upcoming show titled dhyana shakti ( based on goddess myths and legends)
is keeping me completely occupied rather disconnected from the world these days.
these are two paintings from my previous show Dhyana roopa. 2010 december, traditional gouache on paper, and ink on paper- 7ft x 5ft,
some thumbnail studies done for the show,WIP pictures and one to suggest the scale of the painting.
NEWS on the BOOK, we have finally stitched the whole thing together, with an afterword, editor's note, a sketch gallery, glossary, it's looking all complete now.
I've been really holding on to the temptation of announcing the publisher.
and a BIG art post with exclusive art form the book is NEXT in line, just a little wait before it all happens.
THANK YOU everyone who's been coming to this space and leaving your precious comments behind. Thank you.

experiments 01

A long vacation would be an understatement.

i went exploring into the remote territories of the Himalayas,

Zanskar range(ladakh), no phone or virtuality for two straight months.

A long trek, a mountain expedition, ancient monasteries, villages full of apricots, yaks,

mask dances, few sketches, few photographs and each time

we crossed a high mountain pass, it was amazing breathing with the infinities.

will post some of that trip soon here.

The sketches I’ve posted are some attempts, experiments, some random meanderings to learn.

Thank you everyone for coming in and dropping in a line of your affection.

More soon:)

Krishna-book panels01

chime 03

"with the first ray of the sun wear this rosary around your neck and you'll fly like me, the river is hiding in the sky somewhere, please bring it back or else we all will die."

"fly away"

"drink the water,it'll bring you back"

finally a post,

Thank you all for being patient,
and for all the love and motivation.
