Indian Jungle & Wildlife Art...Rahul Parekh (1 Viewer)

Dear Friends,

Though this forum is for Bird Art I hope you'll all not mind if I post two of my recent paintings of 'Asiatic Lion' and 'Blackbuck Antelope' here :). Hope you'll enjoy these paintings :).

All best wishes

Cheers, Rahul

Hi Rakul. Fantastic work first of all. I somehow missed your earlier posts adn just got to see the whole thread. The asiatic lion cub is my favourite to date, though the adult male here is also fantastic. Very much like the contender, must be rather impressive at full size in reality.
 
Thank you so much Alan, Tim & Colleen for your lovely comments and appreciations :)

@Alan: wow! I'm feeling overwhelmed by your kind and superlative words for my work. I'm still learning and need to improve my work. Encouraging & supportive words always be very helpful to keep our work up every time. Many many Thanks :). I'm so glad you loved my lion cub. My favourite too and yes, it was really great experience to work on bigger canvas...so much fun :)

@Tim: Lovely to hear from you again Tim. I'm so happy you liked my work. Thank you :)

@Colleen: wow! striking words from you. loved that you are happy with my Lion. Day after tomorrow on 24th April. Asiatic Lion Census will start here in Gir NP. Wish for the increased numbers. They are hopeful for the 400 mark this time... :)

Cheers, Rahul
 
the lion portrait is a fine piece of work - but the blackbuck is very special - a very clever composition, and such beautiful subjects.
 
Nice work Rahul, I particularly like the blackbuck too, it's got a real sense of the tension in the situation.
