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 - Washing Clothes in the river

I have very kindly been sent a photo of this Paulraj painting it is owned by Ravi in Malaysia.  It shows a busy scene of a group of women washing clothes in a river.
 

It is similar to some that we have seen before but a nice painting.  Thanks Ravi.

G D Thyagaraj - Long cart convoy

I am not able to read the signature as the photo is not of a high enough quality but it seems more like the style of Thyagaraj by the way the tress have been painted.
It is a very typical subject for any of the three Raj brothers, the colours look pretty good as well not very faded.

G D Thyagaraj - Milling the grain

Nice painting by Thyagaraj showing two women milling some grain, it looks like hard work.  A great building is visible in the background.  In general this is a interesting painting.

There is a nice reflection of the house in the water.
