inspired...yet again

I chanced back to T.Vaikuntham's works again, today.

Was wondering what is it that actually makes his paintings so attractive: his dark voluptous Telengana women and priests and the awesome texture on the sari, is an interesting mix of tradition and colour...very South India, very earthy and very "i like!"

Heres two more of his paintings.

....inspire.....(works of inspiration)

the artist is  T Vaikuntham; and i absolutely adore his work.
i chanced upon his painting one day while on google....his use of colours and the details...(notice the tiny dots in the fabric..adds to the texture) takes the paintings to a different level.
basically its quite inspiring, as a mood board!, for the colours, for the depiction..whatever.
