Anmol Ratan

In today's world, we are constantly clicking and sharing pictures of our loved ones (esp. our kids) and have huge troves of the same  (I had to buy more space on google drive for this 🙂).

Still we keep gravitating to a few that capture iconic moments and I wanted to translate one such of my kids into something much more than a framed photo print.

Immortalizing the picture, the moment - the love & happiness in the old fashioned way on canvas, while still taking some artistic liberties 😉 and giving it a cheesy title (for folks who understand hindi) !!

The Lama

The Lama

 

[Oil on 48" x 48" canvas]  

To have good health, find true & lasting happiness and bring peace to all, people must first control their own mind. If you succeed, you will have attained enlightenment and all wisdom and virtue will come naturally. 

It is said that only a Buddha(s) can attain enlightenment through their own efforts and insights, without a teacher to point out the dharma ("right way of living").

The rest of us need a spiritual guide, guru - the Lama !!

The Bubble Therapy

Bubble Therapy

Finally completed my latest painting Bubble Therapy on 3ft x 4ft canvas.

Whenever I am stuck in a mental loop, I bring out the bubble solution and wand and blow bubbles. Bubbles remind me that energy is being created and destroyed and re-created constantly. It's hard to hang on to fixed beliefs when bubbles are shimmering, sparkling and popping in glorious rainbow colors all around you.

Thoughts, beliefs, mind loops are just patterns of energy. So the next time you feel stuck in a familiar groove, create and destroy and transmute by blowing bubbles. The energy will shift. Old patterns will dissolve. New ones will emerge, to dissolve in turn…

Shadowfax on a Starry Night

As the fans of Middle-earth know, Shadowfax was the lord of all horses and the horse of Gandalf. It is said Shadowfax was capable of running faster than wind and was hardly visible in the night.

My tribute to the #lotr and the legend of shadowfax. I hope i did justice to the majestic horse which will be my last horse for some time. Now trying to move on to other subjects. Horses have been my passion for last year or so and i have painted about 8 of them so far. Do check out my horse collection

The Mustang Trilogy

Finally, I have completed my trilogy of the free roaming mustangs - an obsession that started last year from our trip to OBX (check out Nights in Roadanthe for amazing views of outerbanks - Roadanthe was also the island where we stayed).

All three (jewel, opal and jasper) are on 20 sq. inch canvas and can be put on wall individually or together. While the trilogy is complete, my passion for painting horses has only started and hope to continue doing more. Next time on a bigger canvas !!
