  10. lovely painting. I find it hard to paint people & expressions on their face. you seem to do it so naturally. do you do your own framing? where do you pruchase the framing materials.

  11. thanks, for the tip, i will definitely make a note of the background issue. Would you be able to also tell me, as to what is the range of reasonable quality of framing (like a simple metal frame & glass)cost in India. say for a final size of 16"x20" painting. I always find it expensive to frame it here in states. are there any websites or places where one can get it done over there? i usually visit once a year.

  12. yeah i thought of that & if i use plexi-glass instead of real glass it is easy to carry them, between clothes if packed nicely. of course one has to take a chance. since i visit bombay, may be the framers will come up with some novel idea. will let you know when i manage to do it. thanks for sharing the tip. hope to see more of your work. btw i have changed my background to a grey shade but cant decide if it looks good. any suggestions are welcome.

  15. I agree with all of the above, Ramesh. This reminds me of some of my favorite John Singer Sargent watercolors. Bravo!
