Art Collision

The last couple of months have been a frenzy of activity, with two spanking new product lines in the making, energy levels have been on a roller coaster ride of their own. With heightened peaks of exuberance to the inevitable drop dead exhaustion.

A picture paints a thousand words

" Let the beauty of what you love be what you do" -Rumi

I love this quote by Rumi and I'm thrilled to let everyone know I've been toiling away for the past couple of weeks to launch a new range of canvas art, details of which will be up soon. We will be retailing both original artwork and canvas prints of a spanking new range of colourful artwork.

It's been something I've been meaning to do for a long long time and we are so close to the finish line, the butterflies in my stomach reflect the excitement!!

Stay tuned for more details on the artworks and prints!! Here's a sneak peek into some of the artwork that will be up for grabs soon!

Paint me the shade of sunshine!

This month has been a hectic one, with quite a few canvas painting commissions, restaurant decor and signages, a whole new bunch of projects. Through all the chaos, what I've realised is thanks to all the work I've hit the canvas again, with the constant stream of product related Pyjama Party Studio orders have landed up not having the time to really work on canvas pieces, so in celebration of hitting the canvas again, here are a bunch of pieces I've done in the last couple of weeks, some are work in progress and some finished artworks

Sugar coating everything!!

This month has turned out to be a month of canvas painting,something I haven't really focused on for a while now.A very enterprising baker friend of mine just set up her own baking business in New Jersey and wanted me  to paint a canvas piece that captures all the elements that go into baking.
This commissioned piece couldn't have come at a better time in the year,theres something about Christmas,the nip in the air,the gifting season,I can't quite explain it,its just a lovely feeling which makes me want to bake too!I'm no great shakes at baking but I have baked some killer chocolate chunk cookies and cakes in the past.

So here's the canvas painting I'm working on,still need to do the final touches,will upload the final artwork when its ready!So much fun working on a customised piece!It's almost set to fly all the way to the United States and find a warm new home on her wall!

Buddha found the light!!

Finally finished a painting for one of my close friends Piyush aka Pondi!!Pondi holds the title of making me cry more than once and sadly he's unabashed about his very ungentlemanly  like behaviour,nevertheless he's one of my craziest,super talented,most annoying yet adorably childlike[sometimes childish] friends.

 It was a piece I started a little less than a year ago and was supposed to be his wedding gift,but like many of the canvas pieces I've started,work came in the way and broke my momentum.As history would stand witness,when that happens the canvas invariably get shoved into the deep recesses of my mind and room, never to see the light of day again.

Luckily for him[or maybe not] this particular piece wasn't shoved into a corner in my room,in fact it floated around my room to the point that I just couldn't handle seeing it in it's half finished state.It was Piyush's birthday on Friday,I cracked up the music pulled out my paints and brushes and decided to go for it once and for all!!

Haaapppiieee birthday Pondi may this painting find its place on your wall and in your home for the years to come!!Many thanks for the patience and all the fun times we've have over the past 10 years!!

Abandoned art- Wabi Sabi

Found these beautiful abandoned canvas pieces on the streets of Mumbai,quite an interesting and heartbreaking find.Street art redefined.
