1. Anjuli (Not For Sale)Oil Pastel on Board 12” x 18”
Anjuli is a beautiful 12 yr old girl who is a voracious reader. I have never seen such a young girl reading that intensely all the time, instead of playing video games! She caught my attention immediately in appreciation. This painting is the result of the photograph I took of her, when she had no clue that I was taking her picture and what was going to become of it!

2. Peruvian MorningOil on Canvas 16” x 20”
I was walking around in Cuzco, Peru one early morning, the ancient Inca Capital. It was absolutely amazing how the colorful balconies and the morning shadows made such beautiful images. I have so many photos of them I could paint the same theme again and again. This Painting is one my favorites!

3. Brick Patio with StainsOil on Canvas 20” x 30”
This is from a photograph that I took in a cafe patio in New Orleans. The mold and pizza stains on the brick patio and the shadows of the patio chair and table seems to make a beautiful design and a very nice composition. I could not pass this by. Once again, lights and shadows always seem to challenge me. This painting won the Best of Show in one of the local art competitions.

4. ‘Chellmuthu’Graphite Drawing on Board 16” x 20”
I love to take pictures of random citizens in the streets. I am sure he was not quite impressed about the extreme wrinkles and aging of his face… but that makes one of the most challenging subjects for an artist. Chellamuthu (fictional local name given by me) was a simple guy in India near a Temple awaiting alms from the visitors.
Of course, I did reward him for donating this unforgettable Image to me!

5. Grand CruOil Pastel on Board 16” x 20”
My wife and I were in one of the Grand Cru Vineyards in Burgundy, France, when this combination of bright colored leaves and Pinot Noir grapes caught my attention. The whole experience was beautiful, and to see such colors made me feel like I was in heaven. Of course, a little wine tasting added fizz to that feeling! This was the first painting that I experimented with Oil pastels and I love the way it turned out.

6. The Time KeeperOil on Canvas 32” x 22”
Perhaps this is one of the best paintings that I have ever done. At least that is what I hear from anyone who has seen this. Needless to say, this painting reflects my desire to paint bright colors with shadows and reflections. This Grandfather clock was my own father’s gift to me. I arranged the lighting to get the best of reflections and shadows and shot this picture. I don’t know how I will ever let this painting go!

7. Cowboy in the CanyonOil on Canvas 30” x 30”
This was from a photograph that I took in Canyon De Chelly, AZ. The deep orange color and the expanse of the canyon was fascinating to me. The photograph was rather plain. After I painted it I just could not see the magnificence of the canyon in my painting that I wanted to express. I struggled with it for a while. I found an image of the white horse and the cowboy to paint, but I had to imagine and modify its stance on a sloping ground to make it work. When I painted the horse, the canyon came to life! I learned a lot of lessons in this one.

8. New England OctoberOil on Masonite 32” x 58”
The cool moisture, fall colors and fog…really refreshing! That is what I want to express in this painting. The distant fog and the moist asphalt seems to make it happen. The colors of the leaves in October are of course spectacular in New England. This is one of the largest paintings that I have done, and is now hanging in my daughter’s home.

9. Tail Lights in the RainPastel on Paper 12” x 16”
This is quick drawing of a scene that I was in, driving in a rainy night against high beam lights. The headlights were so blinding and all I could do was to follow the only thing I could…the tail taillights of the truck across a narrow bridge. That was blind faith!

11. Fish CreekOil on Canvas 24” x 36”
This is an unnamed creek that I call the ‘Fish Creek’ in the Smokey Mountains. It was a great challenge for me to paint the water and the ripples with reflections and shadows of the trees. The most amazing part is the very contrasting blue reflection of the sky unseen! Just in case you have any doubts, there are ‘fish’ in the creek! I wonder where the fisherman who owns the truck parked behind the trees was?

I took this photograph early morning in a village called Appenzell in Switzerland. The near horizontal sunlight at sunrise causing the shadows on the Chateau was simply unreal. I had to get this in a painting. I don’t even know if anyone was awake for the next 5 hours!

14. The Dog and His Best FriendOil on Canvas 20” x 16”
One morning I took this picture of a poor old man by the hut with a zoom from a distance in India. He had never seen a camera and much less a zoom lens, and thought that I had a gun pointed at him! The picture was shot just before he was startled and started asking me questions! I had to dismantle the camera and then went near him to calm him down. The painting when complete seemed lifeless, until I added his best friend to give life to the painting!

I was in Haiti on a Charitable Medical Mission. This man caught my attention because of the anguish he showed in his expressions while he was waiting for days to see his family member recover from a serious illness. I don’t know how many sleepless nights he had, but his eyes could not hide it!

16. ‘Venkanna’Pastel on Paper 36” x 20”
‘Venkanna’ was a blind man looking for alms in a Hindu Temple in rural India. I was fascinated to see how he fixed his broken glasses with a tie around his head and tape in the middle…and he still couldn’t see well. I guess he could probably see light and movements and not more. He was well taken care of by me for posing for me. I think his face told me so many stories of his life past.

17. Red, White and LightOil on Canvas 24” x 18”
I arranged these wine bottles and took a photo of the beautiful shadows, against the decorated wooden inlay tray. I wanted to show the bright lights passing through the glass into its own shadow. The hardest time I had was to make the red wine look ‘red’! It was a glass of just black liquor, until I painted a thin line of Crimson at the wine-glass interface!

I took this photo of this boat on an early Sunday morning in a small fishing village in Patagonia, Chile. The early morning pale yellow glow of the sun was a refreshing feeling on a cold morning. I wanted to be able to feel the sun in this painting, and I believe I do.

I do some charitable medical work in Haiti. I also walk around with a camera at all times to get some candid pictures of the locals. As poor as the nation may be, I was very impressed with women always wearing clean and colorful clothing, and hats! Often, I end up with very surprising photographs…like this lady who heard the clicks of my Camera and turned around in surprise to give me such a beautiful image!

27. The CanalOil on Canvas 32” x 40”
The Venetian Canals offer such challenging sceneries to paint. This one is mine. The original photograph was taken on a cloudy day reflecting an uncharacteristic sky. I changed it into a blue-sky reflection and added some low-level sunlight to brighten the picture. That seemed to make the boats come alive.

I took her picture with a zoom lens from a distance and yet she found me and gave me this smile of approval! I eliminated her other friends in this painting to bring out the charm.

This beautiful boat house is somewhere in Northern Alberta decorating the Canadian Rockies. The deep green color of this calm lake was due to a mixture of Algae and sediments of Sandstone washed into it by the rivers. The boat ride in this lake between beautiful glacial mountains was one of the most memorable trips we had!

It was a foggy, rainy and dingy night in New York and this was how The Empire State building looked from my brother’s apartment in Manhattan, NY. The city light lit up the fog in the sky which was completely hiding the Empire State. The only thing that was visible was the glow of the lights at the tower…eerie!

This is a painting of lilies at the Longwood Garden in Pennsylvania. There was a strong storm cloud gathering just as I approached the Lillie Pond and started just drizzling. The first few heavy raindrops creating the ripples in the pond reflecting the clouds was the announcement of ‘war’ against the ‘peaceful’ lilies!

"Bill” (fictitious name) was a 12-year-old boy herding water buffalos in India. The original painting was a bland blue and green scenery and I did not finish it for 10 years. One day, after 10 years I picked it back up and changed all the color scheme, the sun light on a muggy day from behind, highlighting Bill’s rib cage and the transparent ears of the Buffalo. I wanted everyone to hear and feel the heavy breathing of the beast.

This is how it looked late night from the Rialto Bridge in Venice. In Venice, it is very unusual to see the area with no one, even late night, when it is still usually crowded with tourists. To see the world-famous Gondolas and the Restaurants empty was an eerie sight indeed. The lights reflecting in the water added ‘sizzle’ to the eeriness.

We stayed in a remote Chalet at the Mersey River in Nova Scotia in the peak of fall, 2017.
I have to say, that was probably one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been to. Rowing a Canoe on a quiet Lake formed by the river on an early misty morning, when the sun was just beginning to show the top of the trees, and lighting up the river and its rising mist was spectacularly beautiful and chilling!

At the same time, there was also a bright sun light, lighting him up! This combination just lasted a few minutes to give me this beautiful painting!

This is ‘pair’ of paintings of black sand beach from Maui, HI. In Hawaii, the volcanic lava pouring into the beaches thousands of years ago have formed coarse sand out of the lava which look like black sand, giving the beaches an unusual appearance that we are not used to. This ‘pair’ of paintings show a sunset at a black sand beach in Maui, HI. The pair need to be hung on the wall symmetrically about 2” apart, to give a view of the beach through a ‘window’ so to speak. They can also be bout and hung separately. However, the originals will only sell as a pair.
