Stone art

 

I got a Ganesh Idol carved from stone as a birthday gift. Every day when i see it i would be thinking how they could have carved this statue so intricately in such a black stone( karungal used for building construction) This was a million dollar question for me for almost 4 years. One day i saw a sandal color Ganesh idol sold in a shop which was exactly the same as the one i have at home. So i confirmed it was not carving on stone ,but has been cleverly pasted and painted together.  I liked this technique and tried with few idols below using gold and silver dust as final touch.

Glass paintings

One of my friend asked me to paint a MS subhulakshmi photo as a gift. I laughed like anything when i first heard it. Because even in school drawings i would always struggle to draw a face particularly .This happened almost 7 years back... My friend was having so much faith on me and asked me try. But i  totally forgot about it until a day i saw a beautiful cover page of MS subhulakshmi in Mangayar malar. I always have a feel when i wanted to do something it will automatically come my way . I was sure it was not a coincidence so i wanted to paint . I was not bothered about the outcome.. I started painting the portrait on a glass.. This was my second glass painting and i was really happy when i was done with it . I still have a photo copy of this painting framed in my house which will fetch a appreciation  by every new comer to house. Thanks to my friend
