Indian Dancer

                                                   Indian Dancer ( oil Painting)
Always was fascinated by the grace of classical Indian dancers. Wanted to capture that. Added the silhouette of Lord Nataraja and a street dancer in the background for effect!!!

This painting in oils was created very quickly. I took hardly a day to finish this. The jug in this painting has also been hand painted with ceramic paints. I used a little Zhel doll to make the painting interesting. But just my luck, someone stole this painting  at an event where we were exhibiting:(

Banaras ghats Oil painting

Saw a photo of the Benaras ghats in a coffee table book and got inspired

to paint using oils. I took a long time on this. Sometimes when I paint I am in a hurry to finish what I started but this one took a long time with long pauses in between.
