Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore - Portrait study work by Manju Panchal
"Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark."
Rabindranath Tagore
Some time back I did a Portrait study work of
on Black Strathmore Artagain paper
using a white pastel pencil.
The black colour of the paper acted as the
darkest tone. Using a white pastel pencil
I had to create the other values.

A morning at Matheran - A soft pastel painting by Manju Panchal
The soft pastel painting below has been inspired by an early
morning scene from Matheran, a beautiful hill station
close to Mumbai. The sun rays lit up the foliage as it perforated
through the space between the wild growth on either sides.

Soft pastel painting of a landscape by Manju Panchal
" If I create from the heart; nearly everything works, if from head
almost nothing." Marc Chagall
The soft pastel painting below has been inspired
by my early morning visit to Karnala Bird Sanctuary.
The sunlit pathway and the surrounding thick
vegetation growth made for a good composition.
The light and contrast in the scene appealed
a lot to me.

Mahogany - Kasturi Borkotoki
Oil on wood with palette knives
.20 x16 inches.
My serendipitous foray into wood has spoilt me. After the two pieces of wood which came my way I attacked this piece stashed away from an AC repair job two years back and happily gave vent to my wood withdrawal. My knives have finally met their match on wood. I can slash and flourish without worrying about cutting! Unlike canvas!The new year has started with a new promise.Some new alliances and new avenues. Am excited and hoping to paint a lot this year!
Meanwhile if anyone wants to give me a gift you can pass any discarded pieces of wood my way.I'd be delighted!:)
