This is my grandson Eshaan. From the day he was born, he has become my darling angel. What a pleasant feeling when we look into baby's face, eyes, and beautiful smiles. I can forget everything and just keep on looking at his face. I have been dreaming about this day but I never thought I will be so deeply enjoying my grandson! What a peace to my life!

The portrait is complete and I am ready to let it go to its home. I got so attached to this portrait because of the story behind it. A lovely present to his partner from Donall.  She is pregnant and he wants to imagine how his family will look when the baby turns into a teenager. I thought this is a wonderful idea! So I ended up with my imagination about the unborn girl's facial features as a teenager, their son who is about 4-5 yrs old, and added some age to the couple. This is something completely imaginative and I am  surprised and thrilled with the finished painting!I think this is a great idea to put it on canvas. I fully enjoyed working on this painting. Thank you Donall for involving me and comissioning this portrait.

After a long gap I started working on my latest portrait commission. I love the warmth, the reddish skintones and the darks! While waiting for my garndson, I worked on this commission. I thought may be I wont be able to complete it in time. But I think my garndson is cooperating with me. here I am still waiting for him. This painting has a story. Love to hear some comments, and I will write the story soon.

Arent they cute! These are the paintings I made for my grand son.

Woke up this morning and was thinking about Mom and Dad.  Started checking my emails and saw a news clipping sent by my niece about my dad! Love to share about him. కొత్త కోటేశ్వరరావు Prof. Kotha Koteswara rao జ్ఞాపకాలు 'హౌస్ ఈజ్ ఆన్ ఫైర్' అని పిలిస్తే వెళ్లాను కొత్త కోటేశ్వరరావు వరంగల్ ఆర్ఇసి రిటైర్డ్ ప్రిన్సిపాల్ వరంగల్ రీజనల్ ఇంజనీరింగ్ కాలేజీ విద్యార్థినెవర్నయినా కదిలించండి ... అక్కడ పదహారేళ్ల పాటు పనిచేసి రిటైరయిన ప్రిన్సిపాల్ కొత్త కోటేశ్వరరావు గురించిన ప్రస్తావన తప్పకుండా వస్తుంది. సైద్ధాంతిక విభేదాలు కర్రల దాకా వచ్చి గొడవలుగా మారుతున్న తరుణంలో కూడా ఆయన ఆర్ఇసిని అదుపు తప్పకుండా ఉంచడాన్ని వాళ్లెంతో ఇష్టంగా గుర్తు చేసుకుంటారు. మన రాష్ట్రంలో ఎమ్‌సెట్ ప్రారంభించడానికీ, దేశవ్యాప్తంగా 'గేట్'ను పెట్టడానికీ కారకుడాయనే. విద్యారంగం పట్ల ఎంతో ప్రేమ, అవగాహన ఉన్న 80 ఏళ్ల ఈ విశ్రాంతాచార్యుడి జ్ఞాపకాలు ఆయన మాటల్లోనే...

This is one in my list to paint. A Beautiful girl playing Piano. Love the picture, background every thing about it.

Waiting for the images! I should be ready within couple of days for my Portrait a day series. I am excited and love to start. Painting keeps me energetic and alive! My thoughts always surrounded by how can I interpret this subject, how can i get this effect, how well i can present it, what colors I will go with, How can I portray her! I lost contact with my good friend Jenna. I offered her that I will paint her daughter some time, and now I have time but where is she!!!

These are some of the portraits I painted. These are some samples of my work. I will be working on more impressionistic style.  Contact me for details.  E mail here

I am in USA and started working on a portrait . Happy to be back to my place and start painting . I tweaked this image in photoshop before I started working on this. Working with darks and using only 3 colors! I had taken this picture on a street on our way to Araku valley. He wss riding a bicycle and I noticed this man with beard and nice sharp features . I had to stop the car, and asked this person if I can do his portrait . He was more than happy to let me take his pictures and appreciated my interest. Your comments will be appreciated.
