G D Thyagaraj - Cattle Convoy - Dusty Road

Recently came across this water colour for sale in the USA for $109.99 US dollars by G D Thyagaraj, very typical scene, cattle convoy on a dusty road.  What was a little unusual that on the rear were was a pencil sketch of a male showing muscles and legs.

Followed by a photo of the rear of the painting showing the pencil sketch.

G D Arulraj - Dusty Road

Today I have added a painting that I purchased several years ago from the USA which was shipped to the UK unframed to reduce the transportation costs.  Consequently it was put away until sometime I could get around to framing it.  The other snag was that it was a larger painting than I had expected measuring 36 inches by 24 inches. Well finally I have it framed and hanging in my hallway and I am pleased with the result.

To make space for it I have had to move around the paintings that I own.  I am pleased with the final result, paintings always look so much better once they have been framed.

G D Aruraj - Laundry

I was sent a nice photo of an Arulraj painting from Mark who is in the USA he was given the painting many years ago by his parents.

Great painting many thanks to Mark for letting me add it to my blog.

G D Thyagaraj - Market and Mosque

I was contacted by Daniel in the USA who sent me a photo of a painting he owns by Thyagaraj showing a Market and Mosque scene.  It was framed in Karachi, I have added a photo of the framers details I wonder if the shop is still in the market?  It was probably framed way back in the 1940's or 50's.

I would like to thank Daniel for allowing me to add his painting to the blog.

G D Paulraj - Doing the Dhobi

This is a water colour by G D Paulraj that recently sold in the USA for $103.27 which converts to only £63.31.  It shows a group of men and women busy washing clothes "Doing the Dhobi".  I cannot decide to some extent it looks unfinished or faded or maybe it is fine, it just looks a bit washed out at the top of the painting but quite an interesting composition.

 

Anyway someone has got themselves a good deal and I hope they enjoy their new purchase.

G D Arulraj - Sunset

Painting by G D Arulraj in his silhouette range is a sunset recently sold in the USA for $30, which is a really good buy for some lucky person.

G D Paulraj - Bullock cart street scene

This is the third of the paintings shared with me by the lady in the USA, it is similar to several done by Paul under the title Delhi Street scene. It shows a heavily laden bullock cart moving down the road in a town.  It is a nice painting dating from around 1958.

Very well painting bullocks lovely blue sky and a crisp white gable end on the house.

G D Paulraj - Taxi-cart

This is the second of the painting shared with me by the lady in the USA, it is similar to several done by Paul under the title Delhi Street scene.  This one has a great cart full of passengers being driven down the street.

It is a very nice street scene with plenty if activity, I hope you like it.  Once again many thanks to Dot in the USA for letting me post the photo of the painting.

G D Paulraj - Dust

Painting by G D Paulraj called "Dust" recently sold on Ebay for $227.50 which converts to around £151.27.  It is one of his classic cart convoy scenes.

It is a very nice painting I am sure the new owner will enjoy the painting.

G D Paulraj - Carts in Sunlight

I recently spotted a Paulraj painting for sale in the USA and it only sold for $150 who ever purchased this got a real bargain.

He has really captured the shade and sunlight in this painting which is one of his classic cart convoy scenes.  I like this a lot and wished I have put a bid in for it.

G D Arulraj - Carts outside of the office

This is a nice watercolour by G D Arulraj the photo was sent to me by a gentleman in the USA.  It was originally given to his grandparents in Laguna HIlls, California around 1962.  They were artists and it is possible they knew Arul and this is how the obtained the painting.

It is a little unusual as it seems to show some industrial chimneys in the background spewing out some smoke.  I have not seen one like this before.  It shows a nice group of cattle with carts waiting outside of  an office as if they are waiting for their next task.  Thanks Tom for sending me the photo.

G D Paulraj - Catching up on the news

This photo of a G D Paulraj was sent to me by Elisabeth in the USA, it was purchased by her father many years ago.

It is a nice bright street scene with some lovely trees.  Thanks again Elisabeth. The title is my creation.

G D Paulraj - Old Man with White Hair

This is an unusual portrait by G D Paulraj of an old man with white hair.  It was shared on the Raj Brothers Facebook site recently by a gentleman in the USA.  We do not see many portraits by Paul Raj.

G D Arulraj - Cart Procession

Today I am adding a painting by G D Arulraj, I was contacted by Craig in the USA whos says he acquired it earlier this year from an estate sale.  The owner who was an artist themselves purchased it around 20 years ago in the USA.  I think this is a high quality painting by Arul and in some ways looks more like that of his brother Paul.  I think Craig has got himself a nice painting.

The sky looks very moody in the painting, I have also added a close up of the signature below.

Thank you Craig for letting me add the painting to the Blog.

G D Paulraj - Mid-day Rest

Today I am adding a GD Paulraj painting that has come up for sale on Ebay with the sellers permission (iconsign4cash).  It is a very nice watercolour and has been very well framed maybe in 1975.  There appears to be a date on the framers label on the reverse of the painting.  Might indicate when it was last framed could be when it was purchased?

I think this is a nice painting which is very realistically priced under the Buy-it-now arrangement for $399.00 US dollars which is around £243.53.  The item is for sale in Maryland which I think is on the East Coast of the USA and the item number is 190521178516.

The label shows it was framed in New Delhi and I am aware that Paul did many scenes in and around Delhi, the date is 11-XII-75.

A second photo showing the frame, thank you to 'iconsign4cash' for letting me add this painting to the blog.

G D Paulraj - Feeding The Bulls

This is a painting by G D Paulraj which sold at auction in the USA on 4 December 2010 it sold for $325 around £217.  I think it is the best painting I have seen sell at an auction this year by Paulraj.

I now wish I have bid 0n this one I like it a lot.  A second painting by Paulraj sold at the same auction , I will post that in a few days time, but this one is still my favourite of the two.  Hope you like it.
