This commission is a birthday gift for my dear friend Roopa Pai‘s father-in- law. She asked me to paint his old school lunch box with images that define him. I wish I had thought to take a before picture. Completely slipped my mind 🙁 He is a man of many talents and this box tries […]

The immensely talented Priya Sebastian is next on my list of blogger friends. I had stumbled across her work a long time ago, in the pages of other bloggers posts. But for a long time, I did not go to her blog. I think part of me was daunted by the intensity and the formidable […]
Kavita Rayirath and I have a strange friendship. We don’t talk/chat often. We connect only when there is something to share, I mean really share. And Kavita shares generously. Kavita blogs at ‘Indian By Design‘, and a whole host of other blogs. The list spans diverse topics – from food to movies – and she […]

Mojo and Sirius are two Labradors much loved by their family. Sonya their mum, asked me to paint their portraits, as the two doggies are now getting on in age. And sadly, Mojo has a heart condition which has been causing him quite a bit of trouble lately. The portraits are done in Acrylics on […]
The dogs took over 100ft from Feb 10-12th 2012. From life-size silhouettes to paw prints leading the guests in…. it was three wonderful doggie days. I met and interacted with old friends, made a whole host of new ones, and realized, there are enough people in the world who still care for those that can’t […]
