This photograph was taken while on a barge in the Suez Canal. I was quite pleased with the effort when it was made in October 2005. Looking at it now…..
The EDM challenge for the week is to draw a picture of your mother. And here I am in Kolkata visiting her but not able to get her to sit still to do a sketch. I think I shall resort to using another picture.
I’ve been trying to update this blog with earlier artwork and decided to use this weeks topic as the incentive to put this one up. I hope to have a more recent one up on the other blog soon.

I guess I would have to classify myself as a “self taught” artist not having an MFA or a BFA degree. I am a happy mix of self learning and a bit more formally from artists in workshops and institutions. And after over 15 years of figuring things out, I wouldn’t want it any other way!
The journey of understanding and making art, for me, is a continuous learning process: Improving existing skills, learning new ones and most of all growing with the experience. Drawing and painting are an integral part of my life, something I am passionate about. The blogs, Maya & draw the line, document the road traveled thus far.
People, their moods, interactions and emotions are an ongoing source of curiosity and interest. What I’m searching for is their inner personalities, their thoughts and there are stories I build around them as I work. I like portraying feelings of people when they are alone, lost in their thoughts, caught unawares. Those are the special moments that appeal to me most. I love to experiment and use a variety of medium ranging from oil, charcoal, printmaking, clay to the digital medium. Regardless, my focus remains fixed on the human form.
