When the weather Gods complied

"Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself."

Mumbai weather has been awesome off late, we thought we'd milk it for all it's worth and took our spanking new range of customised lids for an outdoor shoot. Here are some of the pics from one of the most fun, crazy and impromptu shoots we've done.

" 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!!

Moonbeams and star kissed dreams

"You need chaos in your life to give birth to a dancing star" - Friedrich Nietzsche

I've always believed my life is a bit of an organised chaos and I never felt it more over the last couple of days, with a hundred things to do, each one tugging hard in different directions. When every muscle in your body aches, it's a beautifully awesome ache, one I live for, one I cherish. It's in these small moments, when the world sleeps, I feel my world makes absolute sense and I make sense. So with guns a blazing it's time to crack it up a notch and take on the next task.

Here's a glimpse into one facet of my delightful chaos, they are almost ready to be packed with love and shipped to the United States, safe journey my pretty precious!

Warrior Goddess- Durga

I recently had the pleasure of designing and painting a 'Goddess Durga'- the warrior Goddess,  teapot for a client for the upcoming Navratri festival celebrated across India. Goddess Durga the very versatile and multi-faceted  is one of the most revered, Goddess in Hinduism. She symbolises female strength and power and worshiped during a nine day festival- 'Navratri' which culminates on the ten day with the Dussera festival, where an effigy of Ravana is burnt, which is symbolic of the victory of Lord Ram over Ravana -good over evil.

This particular commissioned work had its fair share of challenges but I'm very happy with the final result!
