All of you are invited to a special preview of my elder one’s paintings. She is talented as you can see (and I hope this is not just mother’s pride talking here) but what I like most about her creativity is how she converts useless throwaway items into pieces of art. And as I show these, I pray that she keeps at this wonderful talent and doesn’t loose interest in it as she grows older...
These are the paintings she has done over two years with the guidance of a wonderful artist friend of mine who is so very unassuming and down-to-earth. I always like to think K is learning more than just art at her place but that she learns a lesson or two in humility too.
So here they go...
Do you remember this one below, UMMON, I had borrowed an Eid greeing card from you, well this is an attempted recreation of that
This one is her own attempt at creating a Warli painting...
I love this one, the effect looks good, though it is just crayons...
This one is also from an Eid greeting, she got a prize for this one too...
An earlier painting of hers...
And this one is in colour pencils done almost two years back...
And this is her attempt at creating something new, the colours are beautiful here aren't they?
This is what I like best, how she created beautiful pen-stands out of used soda cans...

Sindhu..these paintings are mindblowing.......have u put her in some classes....she needs direction to channel her talent coz she's going to go places.
Dont knw why but my eyes are sort of blinking away the tears:-). U must be so proud!!!!!!!
Oh these are beautiful! She is so very talented and creative too! I'm sure she will not lose her creativity - not with how encouraging you seem to be with her :)
wow!!!
The paintings are beautiful I specially liked the one where u said she attempted something new.
And trust me it is not just mother's pride, these are awesome pieces!!!!
Where has she inherited the talent from?
LOvely paintings, dont know which one to point out, they are all so good, and those cans..thats very smart, would love to know if she has done anything else like this.
Sindhu...she is very creative and artistic. These painting are pretty realistic and balanced for a child. How old is she? I especially like the small details she's incorporated in the pictures...the stain glass window, the electricity wire, the small tiny leaf in the desert, the number 2 in the shirt.
keep encouraging her and i'm sure she'll not loose the interest
Kavya-excellent work!
Wow...Amazing...Actually just words can't describe her work..Especially it's difficult to master oil paintings at this age...Inherited her mother's talent???
Nancy:
Thank you, and am I proud! well, everytime she does something new, I have to hide the cloud of tears in my eyes...
Smitha:
Thanks ya, lets hope she keeps at it with girls growing up and with studies and commitments, you can only hope...
Smitha of Books:
Should I say, she inherited this from me (I am tempted), I am an architect by profession but she is far beyond my league! I can just doodle, she can create...
Renu:
She has done a lot of those things, I will put up pictures when I can on these interestng things she creates, like bookmarks and penstands and even an organizer with tissue box.
Sunshine:Thanks A...will do that.
Navami: See, there is talent in the family, no da!
Sijoy:Hmm, thanks, she is much more talented, she has both of our traits and her own added to it...
Sindhu, Kavya (is the name right) is gifted. These paintings are mindblowing and it is nice to see that you are encouraging her.
Tell her that this Auntie loved all her work.
Beautiful will be an understatement,Sindhu!They are all excellent,mindblowing!Didnt know she was so creative.
You must be feeling so proud,being an artist yourself,that K has such an amazing taste of colours,isnt it?
I particularly liked her work of art with soda cans!
Do hone this talent of hers,Sindhu!
May God bless her!Lots of hugs to her:)

K's works of art were lovely Sindhu .. Her shading technique is so beautiful. I do hope your daughter becomes the next Anjolie Ila Menonor others like her ilk. :-)
