1st July 2024 Mr Mani Menon & Beena  Hello, today I posted an abstract of art by Mani. He did the work in ink.

22nd June 2024 Mr Nandakumar   Allow me to unveil my latest creation, a painting that captures the essence of a yacht battling the elements on a stormy night.

‘The Deer in the Wood’ – a poem by Joy.    In the hush cold morning breeze, As sunbeams glide over the skies, In the beautiful rainforest clearing, A solitary deer awakens to another day,   The male deer lifted huge, heavy antlers, Cautiously, among lush green covers,  A white lace reddish, brown coat emerges,…
