"Gaze between the lines"....an acrylic painting by Manisha Vedpathak

 "Gaze between the lines"

Acrylic on canvas, 31"X24"

Available

I was unsure of the title when I finished this painting.

I decided to play a game of titles with one of Accra expat groups

 on facebook and I was amazed with the enthusiam shown by

the group members. Many people did try to read her expression

and suggested me some titles, which gave me a direction to 

think. I actually loved this game as  it is so exciting to know the 

viewer's  perspective . And thus I came to the title,

"Gaze between the lines".

Hope you all enjoy this painting.

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

"Imposed"

Acrylic on canvas

Another doodle art converted into a painting.

This doodle was done while I was watching

an African movie. While I was painting I got

so engaged in getting the expressions on the faces

of these girls that I almost erased most of the crooked,

curved lines that served as outlines.

I thought of the title "Imposed",  as the girls in that

African movie had a lot of social barriers imposed

on them which I tried to symbolize using vertical

lines on their faces.

Would love to have your feedback.

 

 Tomorrow I will be travelling to India for 2 months.

Hope to keep in touch while in India. Till then

have  safe and pleasant summer holidays.

"Washing day"......An acrylic painting on canvas

I think of a  lot of themes whenever I want to start 

a painting but eventually end up in doing abstracts.

I have decided that I will try to focus on my abstracts

but I will keep on doing some combination of

 abstract and figurative occasionally.

So here is one in the same line. African ladies washing

clothes.I would appreciate and love any comments on

my artwork.
