Japanese Woman

Wonder what she is looking at? I love the Japanese Kimonos, their hairstyles and the beautiful fans.I hear one cannot wear this attire unassisted,even the Japanese.
I have been fascinated with them ever since I saw the song "sayonara!sayonara!",a Hindi movie song of the 70's.Even as an adult it still fascinates me and when my teacher gave me traces of Japanese women ,I just had do one,actually I painted two.My first glass painting I ever painted was that of a Japanese woman, did not turn out very well ,but was my start and after a few years I paintied this one.I was impressed with how colourful the kimono turned out.I hope you like her just as much as I do.And if ever she tells you what she is looking at ,do let me know!!

Glorious Glories

If I ever speak to this painting ,I would ask "Glorious, glowing glories on my wall,who is the fairest of them all?"

When I was painting the Glories ,I heard about a new painting technique from my cousin,Sailu and wanted to use it as quickly as possible ,so decided to use it in this one.The technique is called "Sponging" which gives the golden glow around these Glorious Glories.

Shimmer and Shine

Another one from my "Crystal Glass" collection, painted in 2006 while in India.I like this technique becos the crystals add shimmer and shine to the paintings.This technique requires one to use glass crystals to fill in the coloring area and then color in..
