Enough of jokes endru curse pana vendam. All the above Tanjore painting's have been drawn, painted and gem-stuck by my Mom. She is amazing in this, a perfectionist. She is nowhere close to even being called a maestro. Athayum thaandi sema pistu. More to her stride: Glass painting, cross stitch, fur dolls, oil painting, sketching, embroidery endru panatha art-work kidayathu. She is a professional artist. Had coached 500 ppl when we my dad was practising his initial years of medicine in madurai.
Ithula yenoda contribution um undu mates. Infact behind every monument there is a chai wala who has given an inevitable support in building it. Dont ask how, u know the answer to it. Similarly, my take to all my mom's above portrayed work is that > There was a lil boy doing his 3rd std studying at Jeevan.. coming back from school all hungry, switching on the tv and sit cms away to watch cricket, and munch some snack while doing it with a bottle of horlicks next to him just for finger lickin good concept.. and inbetween all this.. hopping around a hall and house full of painting materials and boards and brushes and paint bottles and water buckets and cleaning cloth and gem stones and above all 200 ppl in number seated around the house:) what a conducive and colorful environment to live in. Ivunga ellarukum boss thaan supply manager. Whatever they ask for, i will move swiftly around the crowded place (no space to walk) and get it for them... Thru this i learnt all size and patterns of paint brushes, so many different shades of paints and brands, all different kinds of stones and pencils and boards they used..
phew.. that was one hectic job.. Evlo pannitom ithayum paniduvome nu panen.. vera ethuvum illai :) But yes at the end of the day when a painting like one of those exhibited above comes out, i couldnt have been more delighted as i am one of its co-producers .., HOWSZZZZAT ;) I am so proud of u mom (and ofcourse myself as well)........
They're beautiful.
