"Kunku".....an abstract figurative by Manisha Vedpathak

"Kunku"

Acrylic on canvas

This painting was inspired from one of my Indian 

friends who always  wear this "Kunku " on her forehead.

"Kunku" is a Marathi word for the red powder

that most of the married  Indian ladies wear on the forehead.

It is known by various names in different languages in India,

for example Kumkum in Hindi, Kunkumam in Tamil  etc.

 This painting is just a practice while a big one is in process.

"Destiny"...an acrylic painting by Manisha Vedpathak

"Destiny"

Acrylic on canvas,50x70 cms

 Available

The sketch of this girl reminded me of my househelp

who worked for me some years back. Her name was

Destiny and I thought that the expressions on the face

in my painting also tries to say ,"I wonder, what is in

my destiny?".

Having said this, a question popped into my mind ,

how many of us believe in the concept of destiny?

 Do you believe that you can control or shape

your destiny?

Would greatly appreciate a feedback from my readers.

"Veiled"....An acrylic painting by Manisha Vedpathak

"Veiled"

I really like doing these faces. These are the

creations when my hubby and daughter doesn't

want me to do any other activity than giving them

company to watch a movie or any cricket match

 which I am not interested in. These doodled faces

 are then painted whenever I take a break from

 painting  big canvases.

Hope you all enjoy this!
