Celebrating 50 th post with my painting

When I started blogging 3 months ag0 my son teased me that
I would be out of recipes before 50 and would end up blogging.
Today I have reached 50 th and hope I could touch the 100 th
soon.
I thought of posting a sweet for my 50 th.But few of
my friends and relatives keep on reminding me to post this
particular painting which is so popular.
I started painting as a hobby. After seeing my
daughter's skirt i got lot of orders.Now it has become part time
and am enjoying painting more and more.

My fabric paintings

I never draw or paint during my school or college days.Through my friend priya I got interest in fabric painting and joined painting class. My master Mrs.N is a great artist.Though she has mastered in all types of painting she is known for her fabric and Tanjore paintings.I took three courses in fabric paintingwith her.These are the paintings I did in the class.
