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 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.
