Admirer of Paul Raj Paintings

My photo
Paul was born in Kodaikanal on 22 September 1914 and died on 2 October 1979. G D Arulraj was born in 1925 and died in June 1972 while visiting India. Arul worked at Laguna Beach in the 60's and 1970's. G D Thyagaraj might have been born in 1922 and I am told that he probably died sometime before 1981. He moved to northern India as a young man. I lived in India as a child and spent a lot of time in Calcutta. My mother purchased several paintings directly from Paul Raj while living in Madras and this got me interested in his works. I then discovered he had two brothers Arul Raj and Thyaga Raj who were both fantastic artists. I could not find much information on the internet so decided to set up my own blog. Subsequently a Facebook tribute site has also been created to the memory of the three brothers. Contact me at: rajbrothers@hotmail.co.uk

G D Paulraj - Carts and Hills

This is a painting recently added to the "Raj" Facebook site by a lady that went to school in Kodaikanal which is the original home of Paulraj.  So the painting has the usual cart convoy but what is different is that it has hills in the background.  It looks a very nice painting.
The cattle have been very well painted, hope you like this one.

G D Arulraj - Classic Road Scene

This is a painting by Arulraj that still remains with his family.  I think it is a pretty good painting and his cows are really great.
Pretty good painting, it is still growing on me.

G D Thyagaraj - Selling Vegetables

This is a painting by G D Thyagaraj of three ladies selling vegetables at the side of the road.  The colours appear a bit muted but this is due to it being under glass and there has been some reflection as a result.
The signature is visible on the painting.  I do not think I have added this one before.
