PAINTINGS
BY TALENTED ARTISTS
I am delighted
to post three paintings to enhance our blog.
The first two are by Srianee “Bunter” Dias and the third one by Indra
Anandasabapathy’s talented wife Devarani.
Bunter says- “The first is entitled ““Field of Dreams”” and was done in acrylics while I was in Sri Lanka”
The second
was completed a few days ago in oils, and I am calling it “After the Storm
Devarani’s
work is oil on canvass and is a classic still life painting and reminds me of the
French 19th Century artist Paul Cezanne’s still life paintings.
All three
are great examples of creativity and talent and I am sure viewers will enjoy
feasting their eyes on them. Thank you Srianee and Devarani.

I am adding some paintings by Devarani which appeared on Apri 11,2017 and My 8,2017
Srianee, I do hope I got the titles in the right order. If not, please let me know and I shall correct it. Both are supern
ReplyDeleteDevarani- simply wonderful work of art, Thanks you so much Indra for sending it.
Mahen, you did reverse the titles! The one on top is "Field of Dreams," and the one below is "After the Storm!" Not a big problem!
DeleteWhile I have posted Srianee's paintings on this blog before, I have personally seen Devarani's paintings both in Staten Island and in Sri Lanka. But this is the first time I have seen it adorning our batch blog. My congratulations to both of you and especially to Rani.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better Lucky
DeleteLucky, I think you have posted a few of Rani's artwork on our Blog before. I certainly hope that you are feeling better!
DeleteNo noteworthy improvement yet. I am very patient.
DeleteSrianee
ReplyDeleteI like "after the storm" for its depiction the reality of devastation so well. "The field of dreams" reveals the peaceful calmness most elegantly.
Rani
Rani is a professional painter and her work deserves a place in a top art gallery.
Thank you both for adding colour to our blog.
I'm glad you like them Nihal. Rani is a very accomplished artist indeed. You can see that our styles are very different!
DeleteI have corrected the labeling of Srianes's paintinga and added a collage of paintings by Devarani from previous posts as inicated.
ReplyDeleteExcellent talent. I think Devarani should have an exhibition at the Lionel Wendt
ReplyDeleteI agree Sanath. Indra, being very modest has not commented. Indra, I am sure Rani must have exhibited her paintings on occasion.
ReplyDeleteOur own Srianee is also very talented and her work reminds me of the French post-impressionist artist, Paul Gauguin. Have you been influenced by him Srianee?
Srianee, I have to congratulate you on your work. The style has evolved into impressionistic and confident. The colors are bright and contrasting and pretty. Keep painting.
ReplyDeleteA few comments on Devarani’s paintings , the ceramic vase was to start with hand painted years ago with sunflowers and then glazed. The painting here is done more recently with fresh sunflowers and appeared a year or two ago in the blog.
The second painting followed at least a year later this one with a glass vase with sunflowers and a bow. She has exhibited in the US and sold too.

I am simply amazed at the wonderful talent that is on display. Srianee and Rani, please give us more of your paintings. They are a sight for sore eyes in this climate of lockdowns, restrictions and loss of freedom.
ReplyDeleteMy love of drawings began in the 6th form mostly in the way of Zoological and Botanical drawings. Then they evolved into human anatomical drawings inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci and that ever popular Frank Netter. Although I love to draw I recognise my limited talent and confine myself to appreciating the work of others who posses that natural gift.
My heart however fails to leap up being well secured by a multitude of anatomical structures. Their names and relations have disappeared into the fog of time.
This is 'always late for everything- Zita wanting to give my tuppence worth regarding these fabulous paintings which I can stare at in admirations for long periods! How talented you are, Srianee and Devarani! These are world class! Your works should be exhibited in prestigious Halls! I hope you keep on doing what is so rare to come by day to day.
ReplyDeleteIt's also an example for other members to put their talents to work and adorn our Blog, in the first instance, and prestigious Halls later on, and it is something promising one can do in this time of pandemic and bad news and distancing and 'masking' oh you know what I mean. Well once again Well Done to our unsung artists (well I could be wrong and you may be quite famous, I do hope you are!). Zita
Hello everyone, I was poised to write a collective response to all your interesting and encouraging comments when I was silenced by ISAIS, the storm that took away my electricity and internet for a day and a half!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that Mahen posted my paintings alongside Rani's. It clearly demonstrates how different art can be. Rani is a very talented and serious artist who paints in a classic style. I paint more for my own enjoyment and do not attempt at realism. I try to evoke some reaction from the viewer (like Sumathi's leaping heart!). I guess "post-impressionist" (as Mahen said) may be the closest if I were to put a label on my style. And Mahen, I do love Paul Gauguin's paintings and the colors he used, so perhaps I have been subconsciously influenced by him and other artists of his time. I started painting when I was about 10 years old and my parents encouraged me. I experienced a 'dry spell' when I was in Medical College, but got back to it when my daughters were older and I had a little more time. I definitely have to be in the mood to paint, but when I do I feel that it is a meditative experience and takes away any stress that may be hanging over me. I believe that all of us have some talent and the ability to express ourselves with pencils, crayons, paint brushes or whatever. So friends, while your movements are somewhat limited these days and you have more time at home, be brave and try to create a work of art. (Many classes are available online.) You will be surprised at the response you receive! Paraphrasing Rajan, the world needs Art and Music! Thank you all again for your encouraging comments.
