My First exhibition
My round canvases finally got their due :) when three of my abstracts got accepted for annual show of a govt. art akademy here. Needless to say i was really happy..till i saw what I was against. Some really good work was on the walls there; works that made my knees weak. I could never be that good or creative, I realized and another thing that I realized was that there was no place for whimsy paintings in my city. India is that way still quite orthodox in art. but anyway, i was happy that i got some outlet and my paintings were up there with the works of stalwarts. And that it was a beginning..but again since then I have not been able to paint anything. I keep looking for inspiration but nothing so far to make me feel excited enough to paint. hope I get out of it fast.

Baljeet, your work is unique and beautiful. When I look at it, I smile and I think to myself the person creating it is happy. I see your work and wish I could create something like you do. Just keep painting what you feel and it will be wonderful. And, if there is no place for your style in your city, then show it where it will be appreciated. Like here in NEW YORK!!

Congratulations, Baljeet. As the old saying goes, "Mighty oaks from tiny acorns grow." This is a start and who knows where it will lead?

You should be very proud that your work was in an Exhibition. That is wonderful, and an accomplishment. Alot of us have never been in a showing, or probably will. I am proud for you, and I hope you get the inspiration your loooking for soon. When you see it, you'll know.
