P.P.Unnikrishnan...

This person is of importance to my husband, in many aspects of his professional life as well as personal life.  He stood in the forefront of cultural, artistic and employees association activities in my husband's office.  He came up with beautiful poetry whenever somebody retired from service.  He often took part in programs merely for the purpose of participation, so that no program would be cancelled due to the shortage of participants.  There is no doubt about his abilities and talents which enables him to participate in such programs.  But above all these he wanted the programs and activities to go on...

He retired from government service yesterday, the 30th of August, 2013.  This portrait was presented to him by my husband on the occasion of his retirement.

His sketch, sketch-continues, was already published in this blog  on july 11th, 2012 :

this still life was created some time ago.  may be, the spoon should have painted with some other color. but i kept the original color of the model.

Coconut trees are found everywhere in Kerala, my home country.  When they are near a lake or other waterbodies and when the sun is in the glory, the palm trees make good pictures...

russian worker

 

russian factory worker....

the magazine 'soviet union' always carried good pictures.  because of the quality of printing and paper the magazine was able to bring about pictures in good quality.  the central portion of the magazine was exclusively spared for art and art gallery.  it was a source of inspiration for painting. this picture was a reproduction of a picture from the magazine.
