creating...sustaining...dissolving

creating...sustaining...dissolving

My series of 3 paintings is based on this....
"Creating"... "Sustaining"... "Dissolving".
The first one is "creating"... In India during Navaratri, in Bengal, they celebrate "Durga Puja".
The first part is "creating" an idol...
The second part is "sustaining" the goddess.... by worship and celebrations...
The third part is "dissolving"... immersion of the idol.




The creating... sustaining... dissolving is a pattern that shows up every min of our life... and when I decided I wanted to paint this pattern, this idea came to mind. Thanks to Ma's blessings it did manifest nicely.

Daddy's Little Girl

Daddy's Little Girl

In most of my painting, I try to capture the "human" aspect of the scene I am trying to depict.

In this one I tried to capture the "Oh Daddy, I love you. please don't be sad" looks in a daughter's eyes... the memories of childhood and playing with  daddy, but not sure how to react when she sees her strong daddy sad. Her father is trying his best not to cry... he has that "losing my baby" looks and yet so happy to watch his angel grow up into a beautiful lady.

Living Knowing Wholeness

Living Knowing Wholeness ~ Shweta Mitra

This is my first attempt at painting a scenery.  It took a while to get the techniques, but was a lovely experience. 

The painting has a lot of symbolism in it, I will write more about it soon. :)
