Men

The Third Eye, acrylic on canvas, 36 x 30 in

Although I usually prefer to paint women, I occasionally paint families, couples or men on their own. When women are reluctant, I will switch to painting men. In India, the men are often tall and handsome. They have great mustaches and beards. They sport colourful headgear and interestingly draped clothing and shawls and they are mostly eager to pose for a photo, a sketch or a more sustained painting. Below are more examples:
