MB farm~Oil on canvas~12"x24"~by Aruna Nitin Sarode

I was delighted to come across this scene when I took an alternate route home from work. I stopped by one day and asked permission to take pictures and the owner graciously obliged. I had been wanting to paint an extra wide format, the Queen Anne's Lace flowers and the horses and this scene brought together all of those elements. The resulting painting "MB farm" is one of the entries for the Lake County Art League Fall Membership Show at the Jack Benny Center for the Arts, 39 Jack Benny Drive, Waukegan, IL 60087 
The show runs through Nov 19, 2018. Please stop by and enjoy the show.

Bhoomika’s dance~Oil painting~by Aruna Nitin Sarode

Painting of my friend’s daughter. Can't believe little Bhoomika has grown up so quickly. She performed Bharatanatyam (Indian classical dance genre) recently and this is the painting of one of her dance poses.

Orange reflections~Oil painting~by Aruna Nitin Sarode

Completed oil painting, signed and fresh off the easel. Getting the color and value right on the tiny fibres of the opened orange segments on the shadow side was challenging. I have added some work in progress pictures to share my process.
