I am currently painting the front of a cupboard for Tanya’s room. It’s huge at 4′x6′!!

After a lot of thought, many fights with the carpenter and polisher…the work has finally started. Actually, it got delayed by a couple of hours because of me too….I got nervous! Then after a deeeeeep breath, the clouds parted and I got to see a clear picture of how the cupboard will look. I am posting a few pictures for right now. There are three additional drawers that I haven’t started yet.

Mind you, the entire cupboard is being done with a number 4 soft sable brush….so yes…. it’s gonna take a while.

Working to music...

Ramya sent me a picture of how the table looks in her house. I think it looks good!!

Sold

My friends Bhupendra and Ramya asked me to custom-design a ‘khiladi’ table with not just the regular snakes and ladders+chess+carrom, but also a Bangalore based monopoly. It was very interesting to make. Along the way I decided to take help from another good friend, Roopa Pai (of www.bangalorewalks.com fame) who helped me decide what real estate to carry on this table. Needless to say it was good fun, and I decided to add green felt to the underside of the table and make it a surface for playing cards as well. Wah.. what an idea sirji (:-))!!

Here are some pictures of the two chairs I did for my young friends- Tanya and Siddharth. The inspiration behind the two chairs was to make them time stamps of the two children. ‘A moment in time’ that reflects who they were in Dec 2008.

The kids loved them, I am happy too say.

Tanya’s chair depicts her love for dance, carnatic music, hockey, piano, chatting with friends, listening to music and bright happy colours. Tanya is 11.

Siddharth, on the other hand is completely fascinated with dinosaurs, sharks and orca whales. He is also  interested in stringed instruments. Siddharth is 5.

I know I am posting these pictures a little late in the day. But, then as they say – Better late then never. Just some random images from the exhibition at the Cha Bar at Leela Palace Hotel in Bangalore, Nov 2008.

Just wanted to say thanks to the people/person at http://thedevi.wordpress.com/2008/12/ for starting their blog with my work. Thank you!!

I have been getting many enquiries as to whether I would sell my work. Yes- I would and I do. Currently it is sold from my studio at home in Bangalore or from Right-lines Art gallary . I am in talks to start selling online. As and when that happens, I will keep you all posted. For right now, it is back to the drawing board.

The last week has been hectic to say the least. The exhibition is finally over and it was wonderful. I got to meet wonderful people, made many new friends and sold almost all of the pieces.  I want to thank all of you, who came and  made it the great success that it was. My thanks to Archana at Rang-Decor, Pavitra at Masalachai and Kavita Rayirath at Indian by Design for showcasing my work on their site and guiding many like minded souls my way.Thank you.
