Beach at Ganpati Pule, Oil on Canvas, 14" X 18"

Best wishes for Christmas and New Year to all my dear friends :)

A small sketch of the lovely beach adjacent to the Ganapati Temple in the village of Pule in Konkan. It is generally a very crowded place and /I was lucky to find this secluded spot with only these birds for company.

Still Life with Garlics

Still life has always been my favourite subject. It gives the opportunity to employ principles related to colour, value edges etc. to painting from life without having to depend on anyone. This one took me about 3 days (2 hrs every day in the morning).

Still Life with Onion, Garlic and Grapes

Still Life with Onion, Garlic and Grapes, Oil on Canvas, 14" X 18"

I have painted this still life after a long time. I think it is a very good subject when trying to fine tune basics of values, edges etc. One doesn't have to hire a model and yet one can reap all the benefits of painting from life. Besides there is no need to feel embarrassed if the painting gets screwed up :) Perhaps thats why Still Life is one of my favourite genres.
