My last fish painting was liked, so I did another one. Or rather two fishes. I have been exploring still life with acrylic painting.

I have been using my raw umber for drawings. Still haven’t finished the min-tub. I’ve stopped purchasing paint by ton. Lol ! I used a reference photo for this painting. As my family is vegetarian, I don’t foresee painting fishes from life anytime in the future.

I am satisfied-ish with the final painting. Unfortunately I can not increase the size of the lemon. I mean I can but it would be so much easier if this was a digital instead of an acrylic painting. Ha ha ha ! Anyways I have to paint more tomatoes and lemons in future. Had it not been for my pollen allergy, this would’ve been the fastest painting ever. I am thinking of moving to oil painting simultaneously.

I’m still having issues with the website so Instagram is still the best way to see my work at a glance. I hope to add more works in the landing page in near future.

Taking out the marrow of that Horse, the Ritwik (presiding priest) who had control over his senses, cooked it as per the scriptures. At appropriate time, as is correct as per the scriptures, the King inhaled the smell of the marrow smoke to rid himself of his sins. And those limbs of the Horse, (that…

Yeah…didn’t work much over Holi holidays but fixed the sky and the foliage a bit. I’m thoroughly unhappy with the way the beams have turned but I’ll concentrate on what’s workable for now. So it’s the mast and rest of the foliage next. Not touching the beach for sometime at least.
