STONE ART

 STONE ART
Art is a way of beautifying the look of a dull object & give it a beautiful perception. I tried to apply and personify this thought of painting on a sea beach stone.

Sea Beach stones can be a good paper weight because of its smooth texture, but people who are fond of decorating their house with beautiful artifacts, will not like to keep a dull looking beach stone in their house. This problem can be solved by painting on the smooth surface of a beach stone.

 Hence, it can be a wonderful idea to do some unique as well as interesting artwork on a sea beach stone & transform it into a wonderful designer paper weight which may enhance the interior decoration of your house.

In this art of mine, I have tried to glorify a piece of plain stone with folk art skills to reflect my imagination.

 I will be very eager to know your views regarding my artwork.

MAYURA

Mayura is the Sanskrit word for a peacock. It is a magnificent bird. It's inspiring nature encouraged me to showcase it’s beauty on canvas.So I named my painting as “Mayura”. The concept behind this painting is very simple.It is just about a beautiful bird  sitting  on  a tree. It  is not a realistic painting. It is an imaginary  mayura. The style of this painting is a blend of my imaginative ideas, and concepts of  madhubani painting ,kalamkari and    gond  art  from Bihar,Andhra Pradesh and Madhya  Pradesh  in India respectively . Peacock is the heart of this painting.It’s anatomy is divided into three parts : wings,torso & marvellous feathers.The design of wings is blending of realism & my imaginative ideas.Wings  of a real peacock have many  semi circular patterns. I decided to apply those  patterns & changed it’s look by making it more colorful.The design of its torso is completely based upon gond art patterns.Marvellous peacock feathers are the most b
