Listening to the birds

Just thought of taking a small break from what I have been painting and try new. I think it is the best way to rejuvenate and bounce back with fresh perspective. So I have been doing some figurative this week, the ideas have been on my sketch book for quite long and so got them out. Started off with the time spent time with the doves at my home in Oman, the ones that kept me company for days and months! Listening to the birds is a great way to heal, it does help really!

  8. These are absolutely beautiful, Padmaja. I really like doves and your figures always grab my eye. It has something to do with the economy of shapes that you use. Just love these!

  12. These are brilliant! I love them, I would happily hang them on my walls. When complimenting art, it's hard not to sound as though one is exaggerating, but these really are gorgeous. I like everything about them.
