Got these 2 pieces done recently. The first one is my favorite as it shows the saree I wore for my wedding and I wanted to do a ”hands” piece for a long time!!! I struggle drawing hands, as much that I am scared to do any piece showing hands 😅 not sure why!! So this one was overcoming my own fears.
The second piece is the picture we took during our Rajasthan tour. There are just so many pictures from that tour!! This one is done on a yellow tone paper, different from what I usually work on! It gives more like water color feeling.
Hope you all are enjoying your holiday time!! Happy holidays!!

Many of us who are first generation Indian Americans know the pain of leaving your life behind. Through the years when we travel home, we accumulate things that are close to our hearts, one at a time, during each trip. Kicking off my new series “Treasures”, it is an effort to depict such memories. Some might be keepsakes, some might be adorning our homes giving that traditional feel, some might be part of our daily lives, but all of them are the happiness that we carry with us when we leave home, to come back to this home.
“Where your treasure there is your heart and where your heart there is your happiness”
Hope you like the pieces in this series. 🙏

Looking forward to meeting patrons this Friday 👍

Join us for First Friday at The Reser
October 7, 2022, from 6 – 9 pm

The Patricia Reser Center for the Arts invites everyone to join us for the announcement of the 2022 Beaverton Arts Mix! People’s Choice Award during First Friday, on October 7, at 7 pm in the gallery.

The People’s Choice award voting began as BAM! opened in the Reser Gallery on September 7. Over 1,000 Votes (and counting) were cast for this special award. As a fantastic way to commence the Reser’s official First Friday, several exhibiting artists will be on-site to share details about their work, process, and artistic style.

Beginning in 1983, the BAM! juried competition has exhibited the creative talents of numerous local and regional visual artists in celebration for cultural diversity and awareness through the arts in Beaverton. BAM! began as a two-week show and grew into a four-day show and event. Included in the event was an artist reception, quick draw event, and artist workshops shown live at various locations. The 2022 competition has transformed into a hybrid in-person and virtual one-month event in partnership with the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts (PRCA), and is on display through Saturday, October 15.

This year BAM! includes incredible works of art from youth, emerging, mid-career, and established artists featuring paintings, drawings, glassworks, sculpture, photography, and more. The virtual showcase will spotlight the entire 2022 collection and will feature new works every two weeks through October 18.

The Art Gallery at the Reser is free and open to the public during regular visiting hours Wednesday through Saturday Noon to 6 pm.

Finished this 36x48 inch artwork for a client. This was a Father’s Day gift, a beautiful painting of the father of the universe 🙏.
I have used elaborate textures in the abstract form for the first time and they look even more beautiful in person.
Will post a reel for the close up view for this art piece soon.
Hope you all like it as well ❤️🙏
Wishing you all a wonderful Father’s Day 💐

Next acrylic WIP on 36x48 inch canvas. Added some texture before starting the piece as requested by the client ❤️
Any guesses what this piece is? 😊

Hi all, it’s been quite a while since I posted. With Covid infiltrating our home after 2 years of crazy precautions and a crazy work schedule to top it off, I did not get time to work on some of my artworks 😔
But I have resumed painting, finished this piece. It is the piece from the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum. I tried to get in all the details to make sure glass pieces look realistic and I love the reflection ❤️
Hope you all like it as well.
Medium- pastel pencils
Size -18x24 inch

Color pencil artwork titled “मग्न (Engrossed)”

We recently lost a gem 😥 but Lata didi will always live in our hearts. There are so many songs of her that are my favorite but co-incidentally this one was playing in the background as one of the singer was giving tribute to her.
One of my favorite “Sunya Sunya maifilit majhya” ❤️ this stanza was an apt fit 😊
Indian idol मराठी

My latest color pencil artwork. 6th piece in the “New Beginnings” series, titled “मग्न” (Engrossed)❤️ Title suggested by a dear friend Poonam 🤗
This one took more than 2 months because of hectic work schedule 😊 But I still enjoyed this piece. I loved the paithani and Jwelery details, hope you all like it as well. I also changed the saree blouse color combination to my liking, different from reference picture.

Hello everyone,

I have been contacted multiple times for classes for kids/ adults, but due to time limitations I am not able to conduct classes at this time. One of my very good friends, Shivaraj Bagewadi is starting his graphite pencil classes. He is a really good artist and a good person.
Please reach out to him on the number provided in the flyer below.

P.S. My daughter loves his class ❤️

Year 2021 in review!!

Hope you all enjoy the last video of this year. It has mostly all the artworks, color pencil as well as acrylic, that I did this year.
These pandemic years definitely gave me more time and opportunities to work on myself.
“I wish I could say that it gets better but it doesn’t get better, You get better!!”
My resolution is to better myself as an artist, as a professional and most importantly as a human being.
Wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year!! 🙏

Weekend spent well!!
Color pencil portrait on 9x12 inch paper.
Wanted to try a male portrait with facial hair and what better face than Ayushmann Khurrana ❤️🥰 Fanart from a big fan 🙏

10/28/2021

My 5th color pencil artwork “धूंद लाली (Blush)” from my “New beginnings” series.
This was by far most difficult color pencil work I have done so far. Achieving the skin tone under the red dupatta has been most challenging. But I am happy with the results!!!
Hope you all like it as well. Do leave your feedback/comments 🙏
Beautiful photo by Harshal Palvi 🙏🤗

“Devi” - acrylic on 24x24 inch canvas. This one is recreated from Varshaji’s paintings ❤️

10/07/2021

This is one of my old paintings. Depicting Durgas of everyday lives. The power to be limitless lies within. Let’s celebrate the strength that we all possess!!
Happy Navratri everyone 🙏❤️

Color pencil practice on floral textures.
Iris is one of my favorite flowers, 6 petals so beautifully placed like a beautiful flowy dress. The photo used is my own reference, I have so many beautiful frames from our visit to iris garden ❤️
Another one is peach plumeria.
Hope you like these as much as I had fun rendering them 👍

This is Yakshgana painting. One of my clients came to me with this subject. Thanks Krupa for introducing me to this beautiful dance form.
I had so much fun painting this. I tried to do this acrylic painting close to my color pencil work showing as many details in jewellery and fabric as possible. Added some pop with gem stones, glitter and gold paint ❤️
Hope you all like it. Do provide your feedback and comments 🙏

09/16/2021

My next work in progress. Trying to get color pencil kind of details in this acrylic work. Hope to finish this piece soon.
