Raiyvilla tahku therey


Raiyvilla thaku therey, 28"x40", Oil on Canvas - For the last 6 months I've been wanting to add some finishing strokes to the sea. I think it looks more like a barren wasteland than sea.

Chrysanthemariyabu


Chrysanthemariyabu, 18”x24, Oil on Canvas – I wanted to paint a red chrysanthemum. The result is not what I had in mind --- and so the title ‘Chrysanthemariyabu’. :-)

Rankamanaa Madukollaa

Rankamanaa Madukollaa, 18”x20”, Oil on Canvas - Amir says this looks too 'clean' - ie colours do not blend together. I agree. By the way, art, says Amir, is ‘anything and everything’. To him there is no such thing as ‘bad art’ ;-)

Haruge Ablaze


Haruge Ablaze, 18"x24", Oil on Canvas - I'm happy with the Haruge, Dhoni and the inferno. But I couldnt quite get the figure right...For him to have a right leg like that he has to have an unusually long femur :-)

Bovage Birthday



Bovage Birthday, 18"x24", Oil on Canvas - Bova had a lovely Birthday last year! ;-)

Purple Habrour


Purple Harbour, 20"x28", Oil on Canvas, - two things I didn’t like about this. (a) I couldn’t get the colors the way I wanted. (b) I failed with the perspective…couldn’t get the depth I wanted. So, ‘Purple Harbours’ fate was also …the bin :-)

Gulzaarugaa naya magey...


Gulzaaruga Naya Magey, 18"x24", Oil on Canvas …the bold brush strokes didn’t quite come out the way I wanted to. So discarded this canvas about a year ago.
