100th Sale on the Art Shop and an artwork image sale subsequently :-)

It has been a long wait, as they say before a great joy of 100th sale. I will inform you all about the customer and her own joys in her own words very soon. In the meantime, I really feel that my father is getting to live beyond his lifetime via the energy being passed on from one thing to other, from his soul to his artworks and through his artworks to the buyers that deeply connect with his artwork.

As part of celebration of this 100th sale, I shipped the artwork via courier and not regular post at my own expenses. Hopefully buyer C H Howell has by now received it or is soon to get it much earlier than expected.

I am also getting to improve my shipping options further depending upon the type of artwork whether it is canvas or paper based or something else. The type of artwork will decide the best suggested shipping option from my side. Of course buyer can override it if for e.g. it gets too expense for him or her to pay courier charges and is ok with regular post which is more time taking plus at the risk of - for paper based artworks- being not handled 100% carefully by regular post option. Of course from my side the shipping quality will be equal in both cases, regular as well as courier, just that each mode offers different pros and cons.

Lastly, there has been 101 th sale as well which was a sale of downloadable image of the artwork by a yoga institute owner, Mary Bruce, in the US. She has used it for her website http://www.marybruce.com/parayoga-invocation.html and I am thrilled about it She has also given due credits to the artist - Chintaman Rudra- my father and my artshop. 

Remembering my father- with this Energy Symbol Om (Aum) Original Painting

It is just a few months father, you have left this wordly world and while I do list his beautiful paintings with fond remembrance, I do miss him a lot. This energy symbol painted by dad indeed depicts endless cosmic energy, that just flows from one form into another and never really gets destroyed. Several meditation practises suggest the practitioners to focus on something peaceful, a symbol or an image in mind. This om (aum) symbol does provide such a 'object' for meditation session. Of course as all our works are, it's a vibrant home decor, wall art work. Check more details at my shop http://www.etsy.com/listing/77963564/sun-like-golden-energy-symbol-om-aum

Black and White Buddha Art

Here is recent exclusive art by my dad, an illustration of Buddha in meditative pose. Hope you will like it as I like it too. Great art piece for those who love black and white, and it would look even more exclusive with framing. We provide framing option as well at reasonable costs.

Experimentation With Prints

I had been thinking of doing this for long time and finally managed to do it, thanks to dad for his knowledge, help and right references. Now that our etsy shop is picking up and paintings being liked and loved, we got some select paintings printed and thus reproduced. The reproduction was done on canvas and a good scan quality is very essential. The printing press we know of (that my dad has already worked with) helped us greatly and this small project was thus successful. The idea behind this experimentation is to be able to re-create the artwork and be able to make it available to the buyers at lower costs (Original and print will always defer in pricing). We will see to it that our buyers also see prints in future and be able to purchase those at more attractive prices. Well they say - if you yourself use what you sell, then you are truly committed to what you are selling. Well, I got these prints framed and now I will be able to decor my own home with these greatly framed dad's prints. I have also got one of my dad's large size original paintings framed for my own home (thereby deleting it from etsy shop ...). Three cheers.
