So what do you think…

about these paintings?

Your choices –

  1. Too gaudy and amaturish
  2. What were you thinking? (ahem, drinking..:))
  3. Okay, decent attempt
  4. Very very good, wow, you are Picasso in making(for my ego, girls, for my ego :))

Tata!

      Your the only one who passed the multiple choice exam. No one else choose the options 🙂 Guess I need to add a 5th one, “None of the above” 🙂 Thanks Shurti, I really cannot paint as well as you do. I can do random stuff like this, but serious stuff I need a lot of guidance.

      Thanks Titaxy. I like the blue in the second one, and the crisscross design.

    I really like the first one… the second one is good but will go well with a retro kitschy theme…
    ..both look so professional…Kudos!

      Appa! Thank you madam 🙂 I guess pictures do lie 🙂 If you see them in person, they look pretty amaturish.

    I love love the manga design. It is really good. I like the colors too but I would have preferred a toned down green or more olive green than the bright green background in it. But then that is my taste.

    I love the flowers in the second one but not digging the checked background.

    Good job and keep painting and posting

      I love the manga design too 🙂 the background is actually not that dark, I adjusted the colours using picassa and hence the brightness. It is actually a seaish blue green!

    Loved it. Bright and colorful. Can see it as wall art. Ok. now tell us what were they intended to be?

    • Shankari said,

      July 18, 2010 at 6:34 pm

      Thanks Laksh. It is wall art. Painted a couple of canvas’s some days ago and worked up the courage to put the pictures up only today 🙂 Glad that I got so many approvals, a good morale booster this blog 🙂

    Me says a ‘4’. I know few folks who would be thrilled to have smthing like these on their walls, including yours truly.

    You are good. As in, “seriously” good… 🙂
    Best,

    very very nice – i prefer the first one!

    • Shankari said,

      July 19, 2010 at 12:11 pm

      Thanks Art. My 1st choice is also the 1st one. The second one, I love the blue background more than the flowers.

    This is good stuff. I totally love the first one and the second one would be perfect as funky wall art.

    Will watch out for more 🙂

    • Shankari said,

      July 19, 2010 at 12:13 pm

      Thanks Paroma. First one definitely came out very well. I am guessing my next two will also be on the same lines :)I will definitely post pictures once I am done. What will all these morale boosting comments, I am definitely kicked about sharing every thing that I dish out 🙂

    I think I’ll go with the 3rd option for the flowers and use my own option as “beautiful” for the mango design!:-)

    • Shankari said,

      July 20, 2010 at 8:22 am

      Thank you Thank you kanri. The second one was more an attempt at trying my hand at embossed design, but I definitely like the blue background in it. First one, yes, I also like it 🙂

  15. July 22, 2010 at 1:04 pm

    I love the vibrant colours!!
