<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This painting is inspired from a landscape photo taken by husband. We went for a walk at l upper lower loop trail while visiting Crested Butte back in 2015. Crested Butte is known as wildflower capital of Colorado and will never disappoint you with it's beauty. Landscape itself is breathtaking and addition of wild flowers to it, can take your breath away. </span></div>

Wish you all a Very Happy Holi. For an artist everyday is Holi when she/he is creating something colorful. Research says color work as a therapy. In Indian culture, color has lots of significance in our life, may that's why we end our year with color festival, celebrating all the good memories of the year and ignoring all the odds and bads.<br />
<br />
May you life stays as colorful as Holi.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All my life I have done one thing at a time, I was never a multitasker. Wish I was. For the last one year or may be more than that I'm running after something which should be very important to me. But sadly I never loved that part of my life. I miss painting so much, I know you may say, can't you even scribble or doodle something. Yes, I can but I didn't. I was watching "Julie & Julia" today and suddenly realize may be I should take up art more seriously than I do. It was always a stress buster to me, it's like a cool breeze in my grilling life, it provides me that short lived happiness which I always long for. May be two more months and I can be back to my love. For now only planning and dreaming.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I kicked off this painting with absolutely no vision in my mind, striking large brush stokes throughout the canvas. Then as I outlined a face with lighter skin color , it struck in my mind to portray a Bengali woman with big and bright eyes. Interestingly as a Bengali, whenever you think of big bright eyes, the very first thing that clicks in your mind are Kalighat and Jamini Roy's unique style of Paintings. Kalighat paintings and Vishnupur temple's terracotta inspired <a href="http://www.indiaart.com/Articles-and-Features/Articles-on-Jamini-Roy-by-Prakash-Joshi/Articles-on-Jamini-Roy-by-Prakash-Joshi.asp">Jamini Roy</a> and he blended this heritage with his signature bold use of line & sweeping brush stokes. Undoubtedly <a href="http://www.artnewsnviews.com/view-article.php?article=jamini-roy-s-art-in-retrospect&iid=22&articleid=559">he</a> is one of the most <a href="http://huntingtonarchive.osu.edu/Exhibitions/JaminiRoy.html">influencial</a> and respected Indian artist of the 20th century.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Constantly having Jamini Roy's " Maiden" at the back of my mind, I knew I was going to portray "Maiden" in my own way as soon as I finished the face with large eyes. How does a real woman look like in her "Maiden" form ? What if she is no more a maiden but gets transformed into a newly married woman with all the blushes of her pristine happiness? Her first Durga puja after marriage when she is dolled up to go to the temple with the fresh fragrance of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyctanthes_arbor-tristis">shiuli </a>flower is all I could think of as the quintessential "Newly Wed" Bengali woman...... my answer to all these questions !</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Water and reflections on it kind of attract me more and more these days although I haven't been painting anything of late because of my crazy schedule. However I wanted to gift one of my originals to a very important person in my life on his birthday. It had to be quick and something that I would love to paint. So I tried my hands on this imaginary sunset landscape with my signature use of bright colors.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I went to India for a month to attend my sister's marriage. As</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> you all know, when it comes to marriages, it is the biggest event for Indian family. It's all about celebrations, gifts and endless enjoyment. The rituals slightly vary and are unique to the region depending on the community you belong to. West Bengal, the state from where I am is mainly resided by Bengalis. <a href="http://www.nikhilbhide-theweddingplanner.com/marriage-rituals-in-india/bengali-marriage-rituals.html">Bengali marriage</a> is typically of three days of celebrations following month long preparations. There can be a book long discussion with every ritual and every preparation for it.I'm not going in every detail of it but focusing mainly in one ritual in which my Artist heart took part.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;">As a custom, both the bride and groom's family exchange gifts. On the day of the marriage, groom's family send gifts to bride as a blessings which is called "Gatraharidra Tatwa" which includes Sarees, cosmetics and accessories along with a fish and sweets. However, on the third day of marriage bride's family send gifts to the groom's family as a blessings to the newly married couple.The idea behind this "Fulosajja tatwa" is to contribute something to the newly married ones to start their journey together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;">As we were from the bride's side we were supposed to send the gifts for "Fulsajjar Tatwa". With the evolution of marriage one custom started that is to wrap the gifts in decorative ways. My guess is that it started with some creative mind in some family and everybody liked the idea so much that finally it was included as a custom. Now-a-days, with our busy lifestyle and lack of time most of the time it becomes a burden. There are some professionals or expert creative people just to help you wrap the gifts. And I must admit that's a great help and they do a real good job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;">I went home two weeks before marriage and decided to wrap all the gifts by my own with the help of my dad in a simple way so that I can help in other preparation without investing lot of time in it. As a craft loving person it was an opportunity for me to do what I enjoy the most.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;"> I made designs on some strip of papers to use these as borders on the gift box. It was fun as my dad even my sister was providing new ideas. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Other than wrapping the gifts we need to prepare a list of gifts which is called "tatwasuchi" we decided to make a <a href="http://onsearchoflight.blogspot.com/2011/10/palki-legendary-vehicle-of-ancient.html">palanquin</a> which is generally known as "palki" in Bengal. In ancient India it was the mode of transportation specially for women. With the introduction and evolution of automobile the use of palki declined and mainly was used for the marriage to carry the bride to the groom's house. I used a box to make the structure. My dad made the poles with paper and the curtain. Curtain was the hardest part as we were struggling to glue it to the box.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My dear friend Ankita made a recent trip to Colorado with her family and subsequently shared some picturesque snaps in Facebook. That's how I got to see this photograph of Maroon Bells below captured by her husband, Niladri. Since I didn't know about this place, I immediately googled "Maroon Bells" and found lots of photographs on this heavenly site. All of them were equally amazing but I personally got hooked to this one and decided to use it for my next Landscape painting. The reflection of the rocks on the water surface in this photograph attracted me the most. I must say Niladri did a real good job in capturing the serenity of the place.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lemme tell ya - normally, any Landscape painting with a water body makes a huge difference to it, whether it's a running stream or a quite lake. In the case of the running stream, the flow of the water creates the magic but for quite water body, all that matters is the reflection. Maroon bells is widely popular among artists for the reflection of these peaks. Normally Artists use the wind effect on water surface to differentiate the reflections from the real objects and I must admit that's not a very easy job. But the photograph Niladri took is with calm reflections just creating a perfect mirror image. Only difference is the presence of rocks on the water surface which according to me is the key to differentiate real objects from the reflections. Only thing I have changed in the painting is adding fall colors to the mountains.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you Ankita and Niladri for this awesome snap.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My husband is a foodie and so am I. We both love to explore new places - right from local joints to pricey dine-in restaurants (obviously not so frequently as our pockets don't permit ). We normally prefer local joints than the chains and for the review ratings he religiously follows <a href="http://www.yelp.com/san-diego">yelp</a> and <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/">tripadvisor</a>. We both like Mediterranean food a lot (Thanks to local <a href="http://www.sahara-lex.com/">Sahara</a> for patronizing our love. We make sure to visit at least once a week). And part of it is because of it's striking familiarity to our aged Indian taste buds. Generally, we avoid eating Indian (as we have it at home everyday) when we go for eating out. However in case the reviews say "out of the world" or "100 things to eat before die" kind of stuff then only we make an exception to our self imposed rule :P Recently we were in Oklahoma City and like always we satiated ourselves with a plethora of versatile cuisines. And one day we came across an authentic Mexican local joint named "Taco San Pedro".The joint churns out some of the best signature Mexican soul food at throw away prices -however what caught my attention was a completely different ball game.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh! yes, I know it's not a food blog and I'm not going to talk about food any more. Today I'm here to share some paintings which I found on the walls of " Taco San Pedro". I googled the artist's name but couldn't get any further info about him/her. I was very interested to know more mainly because of the painting style which is more like we see in trucks, theater backgrounds or in calenders in India. The similarity amazed me and I can't resist myself from sharing.</span><br />

It has a very interesting mythological story behind it which is one of my all time favourites as well .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Yes! you are right this painting is from "Ramayana". Those of you who are still wondering, this is a depiction of one of the famous scenarios of the Indian Epic "Ramayana". Although given the size of the book, no wonder very few Indians have actually read the whole epic. Most of us have been satisfied watching the TV series "Ramayana" directed by Ramananda Sagar or at max have read a few chapters from it (thanks to our middle school curriculum !) . However we all can somehow recollect the whole story for sure in bits and pieces. I vaguely remember the episodes of "Ramayana" but thanks to Youtube for providing us access to those golden childhood memories. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I highly recommend </span><a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1QkYOqI3jSM" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sita sings the Blue</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> by Nina Paley where she has tried to catch the emotions of Sita through her wonderful animation. Though it's mainly sarcastic, still it's well enough to unravel the inner message beneath. </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another song I would love to share here is from the Bollywood movie "Swadesh" - </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFavEY-O1w" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pal Pal he Bhari</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. The only essence I get from it is Sita's palpable love for her husband - even after so many days of hardship, she is all praises about her husband. The enormous magnitude of love and trust that she has for her dear husband is the highlight of this song. Although "trust" is one of those very few adjectives that is perhaps not applicable to Rama. Infact it was this very "Trust" that didn't bring happy ending to Ramayana , even the deep love that he had for his wife Sita could not save it. Check out the video of this song if you feel like.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The picture that I have drawn this time is the focal point of the story.

I chose Hibiscus, Ixora (also known as Rangan in Bengali , Tagar or Chadni and small summer sunflower as garden plants ( these flower plants are very common in West Bengal as well as in all parts of India). Waterfall is enough to pop the beauty and almost in every calender you'll find one. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love flowers as any other person in this world. Other than the common love, as a student of Plant Science flowers has a special place in my heart. Though I always hated the Taxonomy classes in my undergrad days but always enjoyed the lab which introduced me to so many unknown plants with their beautiful flowers and fruits. Well, now I'm no more in India and I have a chance to explore new plants. The funny part is either you have to go the nature trails or have to carefully look on the sides of the sidewalk for the herbs which have won the "hide and seek" with the grass mowers. In India, we have natural mowers , cows and goats :) My lab mate here was telling me that she is thinking of hiring some goats to mow her lawns. Not a bad idea :P</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> These pictures are taken mostly on my way to the work place. Yes, I walk as it's only 20 minutes from my home. Everyday I see the additional yellow carpet of buttercups on the endless grass carpet from a distance. I went near by one day, adored them and captured their elegant presence in my mind as well as in my camera. I can't express how happy I was within them. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wildflowers are another reason for me to go for hiking. White, purple, blue flowers will welcome you all through your way. Japanese honeysuckles are there to mesmerise you with their fragrance. What else you want. I find <a href="http://www.kywildflowers.info/">Kentucky Wildflower</a> a very useful link.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I'll keep on posting some more photos, so keep on checking.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A very Happy Holi to all my viewers.My husband recently gifted me a Stylus, I'm having a blast with it. No need to carry my pencils,colors and sketchbook now on. Normally, I directly start my painting with a faint impression in my mind, without even doing a rough sketch. May be from now on, I can actually scribble my imaginations quickly in my ipad. Well, this is my first take on digital painting and I'm in absolutely loving it !!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wish all my viewers a very Happy Diwali. In West Bengal, Diwali is the eve of Kalipuja but the basic decorations are all the same through out India and that is obviously with "light". The best part of Diwali for me was putting the <i>diyas </i>all over our house. But now, here in US it's not feasible to do that outside. So, I have to be happy with my small Diwali decoration corner.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Making "Rangoli" is not a major practice in Bengal, as a result I have never done it. I always love the Rangoli patters and designs but mostly the team effort behind every Rangoli is the key of making it so special. Colors (sometime flowers) and lamps are the best playmates in Diwali. I decided to make Bengali "alpana" instead of Rangoli as my tribute to "Festival of Light"</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Huh! it has been roughly two months since I posted my last painting....courtesy to my famous laziness : P This time I badly wanted to do a landscape; specially after
coming back from our weekend trip to Smokey Mountain this summer. So I was
checking all my old photographs and definitely different landscape photos from
internet. I realised that indeed one needs a lot of practice in order to capture the rustic beauty of nature. However the creative ability of artists to blend the beauty of nature with their imagination is the key to success. Every person has his / her own perception about mother nature and I believe that's precisely how artists end up with their specific painting style. Infact somewhere in-between lies the gateway of abstract landscape painting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I have always dreamt of painting a landscape about Fall Color. The bright and vibrant red, orange and yellow colors always instigate me to play with them. Here are some of the fall color pictures in my neighbourhood taken by my loving husband today evening.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Story of "Shakuntala" is one of the most prominent and sought after stories of Mahabharata. I'm not getting into the details of the story as anybody interested can go through this famous Indian Mythology only by typing "Shakuntala" in any search engine. In short this story is all about rejuvenating lost love between Shakuntala and King Dushyanta.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My painting depicts the time when King Dushyanta fell in love with Shakuntala at first sight. Kavi Kalidasa had given a vivid and wonderful description of this moment in his epic "Shakuntalam". But that is not the sole reason for me to choose this subject for painting. I have a completely different source of inspiration and I want to share it here.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My Father gifted me the first six volumes of "Saradindu Amanibus" in my 14th Birthday. From then onwards Saradindu Bandhyapadhyay became one of my Favorite Bengali Authors. I have gone through most of his stories hundred of times.He literally created magic with his short stories and periodic fictions. Other than that, he is also well known for his detective novels and stories. Infact he is the creator of the cult bengali detective character "Byomkesh Bakshi". For most Bengali teenagers, perhaps Feluda is their favorite Detective Character but for me it has always been Byomkesh .</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My inspiration imbibed from one of the famous Byomkesh Stories named "Banhi-patanga" in which Byomkesh solved the case from a painting of Shakuntala. You can go through the story or see the hindi telefilm version of the same in youtube if you want. A brief synopsis of the story is as follows - The female lead character named Shakuntala in this story was young and beautiful who married a rich, old man for his wealth by leaving her old college day boyfriend. Shakuntala's husband was poisoned and there comes Byomkesh to solve the case. From the beginning it was clear that Shakuntala has a secret admirer, but who was he? It was quite impossible to guess that and Byomkesh also had a hard time in solving the murder case. The nature of any secret affair is that the lovers can't share their mutual feelings and wonderful moments with friends and family in a bid to protect their coveted love affair. However there is always an insatiable appetite to express the same in a different way. Here also Shakuntala, once drew a picture from Kalidasa's "Shakuntala" where Shakuntala was sitting on a rock and King Dushyanta was stalking at her. But the eyes of Dushyanta was blue which was quite uncommon for Indians. It was a beautiful picture and nobody can have any doubt from it. However when Byomkesh saw the picture he noticed the blue eyes from a different perspective. The painting was not just a beautiful picture for him, rather it was the main key to solve the case. Only one person among all the main suspects / characters involved had blue eyes and with further investigation it was found that he was the one who was actually Shakuntala's old college days boyfriend cum the culprit of the heinous crime.</span><br />

Well, My Dushyanta is not blue eyed ! But this part of the story impressed me so much that I had always wanted to recreate the same painting in my own way. I chose to cast these famous mythological characters in natural earthy surroundings; a depiction commonly adopted by the Indian "calender-art" and ancient mythological literature.</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My mom used to do lots of needle
work when she was at her teen. Most of them are decorated at my grandparent’s
house. I had spent hours watching them every time I visited their place. One
among them was Krishna playing flute at the bank of Jumuna River and Radha
engrossed in that. Both of them were standing under a “Kadamb” tree. Wish I
could share that here. I loved that tree full of yellow flowers and always
wanted to make something like that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I sent the picture of my painting
to my parents. My mom now wants me to draw the same like
her “Radha-Krishna” needle work. I’m keeping that in mind.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We were
invited to one of my friend's (Rima's) place for Memorial day weekend. They
have just moved in to their new house three months ago. The house is splendid,
five large bedrooms, huge living place and a picturesque backyard . I wanted to
gift them something with personal touch and what better than my painting. I was
little skeptical whether they will like it or not, however I found
out that they absolutely love it. I don't have any words to express the
pleasure and satisfaction I had watching their happy faces. I wish them decades
of togetherness with never ending love for each other like Radha
& Krishna in my painting !</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After long 10 years I'm resuming my love for painting again. I blindly believed that my painting skills are still the same as it used to be in my childhood. I relished foolishly all my accolades of painting from my school days. One of my friend asked me for a mother-child painting. I started that and this painting helped me to realize how wrong I was about myself. But still there was a kind of satisfaction doing this.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next I tried my hand on little bit easy stuff, painting my favorite flower, lotus.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> During Fall I decided to do a landscape with bright orange and red fall color. I assumed it'll be easy but turned out to be the hardest one. I was so upset I tear it down. After that I didn't paint anything more. One thing I realize though painting has no limitation, no specific culture or language but it's really hard to cross your own boundary. Still I want to do that. Wish me luck. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Serendipity</b>,the very term is not allowed to be favorite for any PhD student...there should be some sequential, logical and scientific events for any discoveries which inhibit serendipity to exist. But surprisingly serendipity was behind many major findings. The most common is the apple story of Newton. I consider serendipity as a strong will that makes things happen - it may or may not be the way you want !! Imagine your own research, where you want certain things to establish which are already in your mind. Unconsciously, you have started believing your views very strongly but may be in some point you are not able to connect two things together. And suddenly out of the blue you get something else beyond your expectations. Now comes the happiest and toughest job to accept that and express your serendipity in a logical way. Serendipity serves as a bridge between your long nurtured believes and the best possible reason to support that. Research is all about possibilities and Serendipity is the ultimate one.</span></div>
