Old Couple Walking during Fall Season

I wanted to do a Painting Project and my husband suggested that he would give me a theme and I should bring his imagination to life. I took it as a challenge. He said the following.

Fall Season
An old Couple walking down the street

Man holding an Unbrella in one hand and holding wife's shoulder with the other hand.

Both are turned the otherside.

It was a wonderful theme and I had to show it in Painting and I did it today.

Here is the rough Pencil sketch of the project.

Here is the actual Painting, all Acryllic and just Strokes. It took me about a couple of hours right from Start to Finish.

Rajasthani girls

Rajasthani Girls, a very colorful piece of Art. It took me about 4 hrs from scratch to finish. Painted in Acryllic and enhanced the costume with glitters, this Painting is one of my best projects.

Sri Siddhi Vinayakar

We are really fortunate to have Temples to worship our Hindu Gods in America. One such temple is Sri Siddhi Vinayakar Temple in Sacramento. Monolith Statues of Sri Siddhi Vinayakar, Lakshmi Devi, Saraswathi Devi and other Gods and Goddesses Adorn this Temple. The speciality of this temple is the Navagraha Gods are seated with their wife.

We had a great privilege in attending the Temple’s Kumba Abhishekam in 2002, and were fortunate to see the Big Statues being Installed. When we lived in Sacramento, we used to visit this place very often, almost every weekend. It’s a beautiful temple situated in 4679 Aldona Lane Sacramento, CA 95841 Phone: (916) 483-4760. Sri Siddhi Vinayaka Cultural Center is the official name of the Temple. You can visit http://www.svcctemple.org for more details. Every Hindu Festival is celebrated in a grand manner. We used to take Prasadam during lectures and Milk, Buttermilk and Orange Juice for Abhishekam of Lord Sri Siddhi Vinayakar. Below are some of the Pictures that I shot in 2003.
