What to paint?

After ruining innumerable paintings and staring at a blank canvas for an agonizingly long time... I finally broke the jinx today!

Inspired by a Norman Rockwell painting.

Having the time (weekends) but not being able to paint anything can be really frustrating.

Hope to do better in the upcoming weeks.

Subrahmaṇya

Inspired by an outstanding Chola Bronze at the Chennai Egmore Museum. Subrahmaṇya was the generalissimo of the gods, often considered the best of warriors. Marathon 15 hours painting right after end semester.

Delphic Sibyl

From a work of similar name by Michelangelo. I continue to experiment with watercolors. Also I have a new website under trial run. I am hoping for some feedback from you folks about the new site. www.prasadr.com

Court house, Lafayette

Done using water colors on paper. To Lafayette folks, yes this is supposed to resemble the building shown here.

The courthouse at Lafayette is one of the more good looking buildings. Yesterdays positive temperature reminded me of how awesome Lafayette can get at times! A Tribute to this weird, desolate but wonderful town. Lafayette I will miss you...

Manikkavacakar

A minister to the Pandya king Varagunavarman II (c. 862 C.E. – 885 C.E.), he lived in Madurai. His work is also called the Tiruvacakam, a book of Shaiva hymns. More on this subject here
