Beautifully abstract lord Ganesha painting/print on Creations Art Gallery

It is one of the most beautiful abstract paintings of Lord Ganesha I have ever seen. Artist Suchita Pawar has excellently depicted the most striking feature of this Lord Ganesha, which is the trunk, with little shapes that Lord Ganesha is comprised of or is fond of. Other than this the peculiar aspect, rest of the painting is drawn with smiling and calm eyes of the God, making us believe that everything will turn right if we put full faith in it. Also the shades of blue color are indeed used with utmost care. It is painted with acrylic color on canvas base in its original form. On Creations Art Gallery of ours, we have various forms of products that are made up of this painting, such as reprints, reprints with framing, metal prints, mobile covers and many more.

Happy Ganesh (Ganesha) Chaturthi , Elephant God Festival Celebration in India and across the world

With upcoming festival of lord of wisdom, our dear elephant god, Ganesha whom several people across the world worship and admire for its virtues, let me wish you all happy festive times. My father particularly had such a strong hold and fine brush with Ganesha paintings. Of course he did several other arts as well, such as other folk art paintings, nature paintings, abstract, at the same time I think Ganesha paintings were so nature of him.

In his abscence, I am part of close team of artists who paint in their own great style and we have several new works. Hope the watchers and shoppers of my shop will love those as well.

Price Increase - Justified

As I have announced on my etsy shop http://creations1000.etsy.com/ since last one week or more, I am taking the shop artwork and item prices through a revision, as I complete 2 years of the shop on 10th Feb 2011. It has indeed been an exciting journey for me with several learnings, joys of sales, shipping, feedbacks, improvisations with help of my family, friends and all artists associated directly indirectly. When there are several prices around that I pay for day to day items and I have no control on or get an explanation for price-increases, I feel even more stronger need to justify impending price increases to my customers. I very well am aware how as a buyer feels when the prices we are used to are higher than what we are used to.

Well in the end it is a supply chain isn't? It's a trade off between giving best quality product and service at best price and at the same time, earn enough profit so that your business sustains, grows and you can continue to provide your buyers better services, products with greater innovation and improvising upon quality in a continuous fashion.

With all said, fact is my (our) own supply costs are increasing, be it for example, the material cost for the artworks, usage of better packing material requires better packaging products, increased transportation costs from the time I started and many more. Plus all of us the fellow etsysellers do pay etsy commission as well as paypal commission and I am grateful to all these e-commerce entities involved including google by itself that helps with online purchases appealing despite being a 2D media for selling 3D objects.

Above all, there is value for creativity which is so hard to measure..but it still needs to be measured somehow, in order to be bought or sold. I believe in my own creativity, be it creative writing for products specs, be it photography of the art works and art supplies, be it being an explorer who is constantly searching for the something creative and appealing, be it believing in my own aesthetic sense. I believe in my father's artwork that he has been doing for years as an artist from well known art school in India (JJ school of art) and years and I have been seeing for years and years. I believe in Sri's photography art which is showcased on my shop, I believe in all artists associated with my shop. I believe in all the business suggestions given by my husband and endless thought process gone into making creations-the art shop where it is now.

At the same time in order to attain better growth and also after careful observation of online offline market in terms of prices, I have finally decided to make some increases to the pricing, depending on the item to item. Hope this justifies price increase enough and I assure you that prices would still be reasonable and you will continue to provide us business and help us grow. Thanks.

I just received customer appreciation photo from my customer 'etsy user name- sunchaser8'. She has sent me the framed painting photograph of the original painting she purchased from my etsy shop.

Globe Trotting of This Lord Ganesh

Well this little original painting, with beautiful dark blue framing (not seen in the photograph, framing was a custom order) is a globe trotter in its own way. Well, friend of mine- Amol, purchased it almost an year ago (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=15856038 ))when I was in Sydney and he was in the US. He got it delivered to his Pune/India residence. Now that he has been back in Pune, he has basically gifted this Lord Ganesh/Ganesha painting to his cousin- Sanjeev, as he was on his India vacation, who teaches atPrinceton University. Looks like the blue frame and the blue elephant has indeed crossed the continents and blue oceans to find its final destination which a great office space like Princeton University. This particular lord of wisdom has decided to live in this cheerful ambiance filled with great education. Wonderful journey isn't? Sometimes I wonder whether these muted works also do have their own 'lives'? Perhaps yes :-)
