Protsahan – Help me help them..

Hi Everyone,

You all know that I love to paint. I have also been extremely lucky in the support that I have received from all of you. And I shouldn’t really ask for more. But, I am going to. Help me. I need you to buy four of my Ganapati paintings. They are done in acrylics on canvas and have painstakingly been studded with tiny sequins for his jewellery. It was agonizingly slow work. In fact these four paintings are what started my journey two years ago- the kitsch, the bright colours, all of it started with these four paintings. All four have been framed in brocade and distressed gold frames. Ganapati is auspicious, he helps start new things, he wards of evil and he brings good luck. I have seen his magic first hand. Please help me spread some of that magic to children who truly deserve it. The paintings are being auctioned with a reserve price of INR 10,000 each.

All the proceeds from the sale of these paintings will go to Protsahan.. 100%. I promise you that!

These paintings are being sold through the Delhi Twestival.

Here is a little write up that they sent to me…

You must be wondering what’s Twestival?
We use Twitter /Social Media to interact,and converse.People like us utilised the power of Twitter,and used the medium to generate funds for an NGO and support a cause,and thus was born ‘TWESTIVAL’

I’m adding a link to help you know better about the origin of twestival.

SUPPORTING CAUSE: We’re supporting NGO Protsahan
(Last year,because it was Twestival Global – Each and every chapter supported CONCERN Worldwide,and as it’s Twestival Local this time,we’re supporting a Local NGO which is actually good,as we can see the convertibles and solid impact ourselves,which we will hopefully be able to create)
