So here it is...a Momo(Dimsums)/fast food outlet which is situated just a few block away from my home. It is a fast food outlet, a small shop that sells traditional Indian and Chinese food. Yeah no people outside..cause they are cooking for me. And yes I have tried to paint it as it is. I know the name TONDOOR should be TANDOOR but I have painted that just like the original one.

On  serious note, this is an evening scene. Everyday I cross paths with this beautiful place and I must admit I am tempted to paint this scene. From morning till night this outlet caters to the needs of hundreds of people who likes Indian and Chinese fast food. At first I found it very difficult to paint it since I chose a night scene instead of a day time scene. After I painted this scene I showed it to one of my dear friend and he told me that this painting as something in common with a few paintings of Edward Hopper. I never knew I had something similar to the paintings of the great Edward Hopper. So, I checked his artworks and I was literally blown away by his night scenes. He is one of my very favourite painter till date. Thank you very much to my dear friend Ramkrishna Paul for showing me the works of the great Edward Hopper.

Foliage are the toughest subjects to draw....that doesn't mean that you should stop trying. I have been a victim of constant demoralization by the people of art fraternity that one can never master the art of drawing and sketching foliage.
I would however like to differ in this statement by saying that every art a painter does is a reflection of his current skill level and his vision of the realistic subject he is willing to draw or paint. As for me, this is by far one of my best attempts to make foliage and I am very happy with the results.

It was magical...the wave of orange washing over the landscape and suddenly the old forgotten boat brightens up. A begger makes home in this abandoned ferry. He is waiting for the rain and he thinks the old girl will once again come alive. I will wait for that day to come and once again enjoy the elegance and beauty as it strides across the river water with pride.

Pencil sketch: Barthakur Clinic Hospital

Yes the banner is a bit off balance....just like it is..originally...The subject is Nursing Home situated on the banks of the River Brahmaputra in the beautiful hilly area of Kharghuli. The sketch is done on spot using charcoal and pencil. I found the rendering of the tree a bit tough. It was a good try.
