This blog is dedicated to the most critical factors of my existence and being, my parents and my sisters..especially to my younger one..thanks for everything Dolls..



I have not even attempted to put in words what i hold deep in my soul and existence for ONE MAN to whom i owe it all.. though i was born out of my mother's womb, my psychological and spiritual birth's fountainhead lies in him .. my FATHER - my God, my strength, my reason of existence... my alpha and my omega...

the poor king ..

this is what i was doing all this while...
the painting is a reproduction of a shot of an old poor man taken by my younger sister Dolls during her trip to exotic Himachal Pradesh...

i have made him a king by giving a touch of gold acrylic on his cap and on his creases to represent the wealth of experience..

the standard of painting is far below anything decent - i have used students' oil colors and eyes could have been better ...creases also have not come out the way i had imagined it ...

    I love this! You have painted a face with character. I see wisdom and even a sense of amusement in his expression. It makes me wonder what he is thinking.... I see contentment in his countenance....very nice portrait.

    i would say u have done great.Maybe to a person like me who can't handle the brush and paint this feels great.
    But i can understand that when u analyse this u might be finding it lacking.
    Artists are rarely satisfied...the result is even more art i should say.
    i feel happy to feel ur happiness when u were in the process...engrossed, involved and happy. :)

    I agree with Julie that he really looks like a king. I wish I could do that as well, but only in my dreams. I love arts but I can't make one.

    Please, you have a gift!...eyes could have been better ...creases also have not come out...you would be the first person to tell someone who wrote such things about their painting that the painting was a true work of it. Follow your advice my dear! The king is beautiful!...and nobody likes to have creases, least of all a king :)

    I LOVE the beard and the hair. The silver is just exquisite! The background is beautiful, the eyes are sharp/intelligent- I like them! I want to read a Panchatantra story with this King as the main character! :)

    Sushmita, I think that you keep getting sent to that post because I wrote a new one but pulled it off the blog to edit it some more. I have done a little writing, but my mood has not been good, so I haven't posted anything. Thank you for caring so much. I will post again soon. God bless you! Take care my friend :-)

    If I could paint half as well as that, I’d be pleased. I’m still struggling just with pencils. Keep up the good work!

    An awesome presentation of a King indeed...it could not be more beautiful without your hands, and most importantly your soul...

    Well, it's far more beautiful than my normal stick-men drawings. You are a talented lady. Thank you for visiting my blog.
