Bigger Canvas
.. are a challenge at every step .. starting from the Artist who is painting them .. to the Gallery who will be taking it to the Art lovers .. and then finding the right ambience/space to display that mouthful of work to do it justice.
On "Horse and Nude" series i have started a new work. a little bigger than usual.
For now the painting looks like this.
Just for fun , i have signed it (at the right hand lower corner) signalling the painting having reached a possible destination ... or may be this is just a begining of a new journey.
Let s see if what this painting tells me in next few days.
I will ask Preeti to keep you posted

Have to add some writeup to accompany this painting.
Its not so with most of the paintings .. that i provide a writeup but there are always some paintings which evoke strong feelings and sometimes holds a quick glance to become a long stare.

Do i miss Metros .
Long time ago I made a choice to stay away from metros and settle down in Bhopal.
leaving metros like Bombay (now Mumbai) and Delhi. Sometimes i used to think .. I miss the action that happens there.
But since i have come to know internet, it never cease to amaze me
Especially I used to be more active in the Indian market scene. and today i amazes me .. that internet has actually proliferated the medium of communication so well.. that you can have visitors from far off continents at your internet address.
I am really enjoying the time learning more and more about internet and exploring about what i can do with it. Here is a snap of recent visitors to my site.
Thanks Fello's

I am not still not very sure how good the google traslations are working may be a little .. quirky.... but at least should be good enough to give a fair hint.

What makes great artist
Post in GFX artist by
HERE'S THE WINNING ENTRY!!! (note: unedited)
What makes a great artist?
In my extremeley humble opinion, an artist is someone who creates. Everyone is an artist, being artistic is what seperates us from the animals. What makes a great artist is not the ability they have, or the skill, or the technique, or the experience. A great artist has magnetism, magic, spirit. A great artist makes somebody stop and think, and think again, then reflect and ultimately, react. Wether it be music, the written word, architecture or painting, the ability to make people think about what they are looking at rather than just look and move on, is to me, the greatest gift an artist can posses.
Being technically perfect (if such a skill can be acheived) may be admired and have a certain wow factor but just as a computer can be programmed to play the perfect symphony, it will never have the magic a human, with all his or her imperfections and genius will have. The power to evoke strong emotions in someone with art is a rare feat. Only art with meaning, spirit and a depth that can’t be easily explained can achieve this. To ask someone to go out and create something that will move people is like asking someone to go out and make people fall in love with them. The magic of good art and a good artist is it happens and its something that cannot be explained.
So to me a great artist is someone who can change the way you feel and maybe even change the way you think. And that great artist is sometimes the most unexpected of people - the person who doesn’t realise they are changing the way people feel or think. A great artist won’t create for prestige, or notoriety, or acceptance, or money, or immortality. They just create because...because.
They create. And the creation carries on creating long afterward the artist.
