Tanjore "style " painting
Another experiment..Agreed that the traditional Tanjore paintings are awe inspiring with their detailing and delicate stone and foil work.Here is something done on the same line ,but minus the expensive gold foils and also the ceramic relief work.The richness of a Tanjore painting is obviously missing.But i am happy the end product is appealing to the eyes.The relief work has been replaced by fevicryl '3d' paints and glass liners.Since the canvass was not absorbing the water colour , oil paints have been used.So i should call it a mixed media work as i have used fabric paintings too to facilitate quick drying. what makes the painitng precious is the sparkle i had seen in Radhikas eyes as i presented it to her.She is such a nice soul.Hubby dear ,who is my best critic also gave me a good 70 percent for this.Guess i am improving in my art.Next on my anvil is more Gods!!!
