My Art on Cover Page of SPAN magazine

One happy news to share with my readers. I have won the 50th anniversary Cover Art contest organized by SPAN. My Painting will be on the cover page of SPAN magazine for Jan/Feb 2011 issue. (also as a winning gift i will be getting an Apple iPad) .

Ever since my childhood as far back as i remember, we received SPAN magazine. Even in those days (30 yrs back) the magazine had superb paper quality and photograph quality images. All other mags were simply black and white or at most poor quality photographs. No wonder we always waited for this one magazine to be delivered by our postman and be the first to smell between the pages.

When i heard of SPAN orgazining a painting competition, all those past memories flooded down to create the one painting that summarised what India and US meant to me.

Here is the painting

Title : Contemplating Reflections
Writeup : If one wants to compare two countries there can not be a more diverse set than India and US. With their differences in culture and ways of working, its not without reason they are termed Mystical East and Corporate West. They have looked at each others reflections to leverage their differences and make world a better place

Hope you enjoy it.

PS: Congrates to Rupesh Bhandari who won the writing essay contest on topic "What can US and India accomplish together" . Looking forward to meet you at SPAN anniversary function.
