Thanks to readers..

Hi readers,

First of all, thanks a lot for sparing your valuable time to go through my blog.

I sincerely dedicate this blog to my lovable grandfather who passed away few months back leaving our entire family in great grief.

I assure that the time spent will be mind blowing after seeing the astounding efforts and enormous talent of the wonderful human, who created these artistic works at his 78 years of age.

"He who works with his hands is a laborer.

 He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.

 He who works with his hands, his head and his heart, is an artist."

- St.Francis of Assissi 

I feel the above saying would have been written for my grandpa, who was such a brilliant & talented artist. And I take pride in exposing his talents in this blog which are valuable treasures to our family.

He started drawing just like that to spend his time in a useful manner with ordinary color pencils, sketch pens, etc., whatever available at home. Having closely watched him while drawing by just seeing a small model photograph, his complete dedication and involvement in sculpting his creations made all of us dumbstruck. He exclusively selected many God pictures for his lovable hobby. Without any of our help, the picture outline, strokes, curves, color shades, color spray works, background, decorations, etc., etc., will be drawn by him effortlessly and finally he will draw the eyes which will bring the picture realistic and lively.

Though he passed away & left us, his memories will remain in our hearts forever in the form of his amazing arts & his passion towards art.

I would like to thank my parents, who made me what I am today and my family members, who supported me in creating this blog. Special thanks to my grandpa who encouraged, blessed & wished me in each & every step of my life.

I would also like to extend my thanks to our  family friend, Shri. Abiram Sundar, for his kind support and initiative taken to encourage me in creating this blog exclusively for the kindness and respect he had towards my grandfather.

Thank you all.

Om Shri Ganeshaya Namaha..

Its better to start any good thing with the blessings of Lord Ganesha!
So I'm posting His drawing first :)
That tiny little Mooshik is my favorite in this pic :)

Its our Ganapathi again!!!

This Ganesha comes with a lot of detailing and very minute spray works in the background, if you can notice..

The Goddess of Nourishment..

The Hindu Goddess, who is treated as the 'giver of food' - Annapoorani Devi 

The Goddess who cures illness..

Another famous Hindu Goddess, who is believed to cure any sort of ailment, with her enormous powers. - Samayapuram Mariamman

My grandpa really had a lot of faith in her. And as a token of his profound devotion, he made this picture.

Another powerful Goddess..

Karumariamman - is another Goddess, well known for her power to drive away diseases and evils from the world.

The Goddess of wealth..

Of course, it is Goddess Mahalakshmi, who bestows everyone with wealth and prosperity.

The Goddess of Knowledge and art..

Goddess Saraswathi - I feel she had blessed my grandpa abundantly with such a kind of gift, that every art you see here is just his first try.. 

I remember wasting a lot of my record book pages just to get one diagram of a science specimen right.

All I can say is, 'Thatha.. We really miss you..' ;'(
