Pongal Festival

Pongal is similar to Thanksgiving, centers around the harvest, family is the center, kids usually have lot of fun due to sugary food and munching on sugar cane. I did enjoy during my younger days munching on the sugar cane.

This is my newest oil painting which shows the highlights of Fort Mohave County mountains. One may recognize the scene from visiting Laughlin Nevada. One can see the Spirit Mountains, Finger Mountain, Elephant tooth and upside down Snow Cone Mountain. Loved the scenery.

inspired from Cholas ancient dynasty temple mural

Chola's empire encompassed all the way to Singapore. The name itself suggests the south India's influence in southeast Asia. Bragatheswara Temple still stands tall in Thanjavore which was from the 11th century. The above painting is my take on the original done by the master painters in Chola's period. I enjoyed painting this piece to my likings.
