Two potraits

These are two attempts at potraits, one in pen and ink and one in acrylic. These were done a long time back, but finally thought about posting these.

Ganpati Inspiration

This year, I felt like I wanted to celebrate Ganpati by drawing an image of one. So here is what I came up with. Its not complete, but I wanted it to look festive, but at the same time, I love the austerity of stone idols. I tried to achieve a balance by keeping the idol gray, and the background, I colored in the very Indian tones of saffron and fuchsia. The two colors remind me of zendu (Marigold)flowers and gulal. I would never dare to wear those colors together, but they make me feel happy.

Art work

It seems to me this blog has a mind of its own. I started of thinking that it would be more or less about travel and food. But then politics took it over for a bit and now art will. Is this spontaneous morphing or is it just fickle old me?
