This was a life size statue standing tall on a water fountain in Las Vegas.  Had been to Vegas last month on a holiday.  I could not abstain from making her portrait.  And now, here she is a part of my original watercolor collection.

The above painting was a popular one in the recent solo. Imagine wearing woolen clothing, sitting out in the sun outside a small tea-shop having chai, enjoying the mighty Himalayan snow-peaks on a crisp October morning.

Sir

Oil (15" x 11")

This is a portrait of our teacher (mine and Sujit's), Mr. Ambadas Mahurkar. He was a renowned watercolourist in Hyderabad and elsewhere. He was so prolific that even at the age of 74, he would paint 5 or 6 watercolours a day. Its been a privilege to study under him.

Used and Forgotten - Prabal Mallick

Title - Used and Forgotten
Size - 18 inch x 12 inch
Medium - Watercolor on paper
Year - 2009
Status - Available

The title of the painting explains the painting completely. I had made it as a metaphor to almost everything that is 'used and forgotten' including human beings. This was at display in the last exhibition in July this year. A gentleman took a lot of time at this painting and came to me and congratulated me. And then he discussed about it for sometime from which I could gather that he had understood the intended metaphor in the painting. I was indeed very happy because I knew there is at least one person who understood the thought process behind this painting. Well now you also know. :)

'Retired'-- by Vinayak Deshmukh

Watercolor (15" x 20")

A rapid sketch....By Suresh Pethe

Today I was going through my sketchbook and I paused at this palm size  sketch. Some months back I was sitting in an auditorium. She was sitting few rows ahead. During an interval I began to draw her..... but at next glance, she was not there and the sketch remained in complete.
But now, I feel, I have caught the essence of the character. What your views are ?

Hilly Path

Watercolour (11" x 15")

This watercolour was done with an intention to achieve a bold and loose effect. I wish I had used a bit of variation in the large piece of foliage on the left. But I am still satisfied with the overall result. Please do give your comments and suggestions.

I find great inspiration in the works of David Taylor. He paints with such a lovely loose and bold style. Unfortunately, I am not being able to put a link to one of his pages here, but I urge everyone who hasn't come across his work to search it on the net. You surely wont be disappointed.

Mild Sunny day .... By Suresh Pethe
