Hi Thenu,

Painting is very nice. I liked the idea of vogue magazine. Can you please tell me how you did that.

Hi Thenu,
I was searching for some recipes, and stumbled on to your blog... My god, what a talent u have!! I was just baffled at ur Autumn Lane painting.. Incredible!!

Congrats and keep the good work going!!

Thanks Rohini!! That is very sweet of you. :-) Eager to see more posts in ur blog too.

Thanks Sri. I used some photo editing - might be photoshop/paintshop pro - I dont remember vividly..sorry..I get my hands on many & any tool I come across..
As for the technique, if you are familiar with any graphic tool like paintshop pro, you can create the object as one layer and the backdrop as another layer and superimpose them.

Hi Thenu,
I have been meaning to post some comments on your blog...Just got an oppurtunity. I am a big fan of ur cooking as well as ur drawings/paintings..Especially this one is awesome!!!! I like to paint also, took some classes for a about a month or so, but couldn't continue due to work. Have been trying to take some classes here in US. But they are very expensive :( Hope I too can pursue my passion some day as you. Anyways, I admire you for all your talents..Keep up the good work.

Hi Divya,

Thanks..U made my day!
Wish to c ur works too in near future. May be u can take couple of classes (they would be $30+ a class) and learn the techniques then do at home on ur own..Where r u based in US?
