My passion for painting remained a hobby (albeit a paying one) during my 27 years
of service in the Indian Army, the most wonderful organization in the whole world.
It gave my passion wings and allowed me to pursue and develop my hobby as much as
I could. I have been painting for as long as I can remember and did professional
skill enhancement courses, including one in 1994 in USA (California Art Institute)
focusing on face drawing.
I found myself being able to draw and paint faces better than other forms and so
decided to focus on portraiture. As a natural outflow of my passion, I decided to
take it up as a profession post retirement four years ago.
Internet has encouraged me to become a professional as through my portal I can directly
reach out to genuine clientele (without any go-betweens) and I am able to offer
reasonable prices for my works.
Costs have been kept modest to cover basic compensation for the effort involved.
The aim is not to make just money but fruitfully pursue my passion. Costs may not
reflect the true value of the paintings.
I look forward to interacting with people with aesthetic tastes, who may like to
possess a painting done with passion and with the heart.
