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 Thyagaraj - Dusty Road and Paddy Fields

While I was away on vacation in Florida I was contacted by email by John M who was selling two paintings by G D Thyagaraj on Ebay.  He had found my blog site and emailed me some photos.  He said it was okay to add them to my blog.  I have searched Ebay today Sunday 14 August and have not found his paintings. I am unsure whether his auction has already ended or not?  The first painting is of a group of women working in the paddy fields.

We have seen a very similar painting like this before.  There are some notes on the rear saying it was purchased from the artist in Kathmandu, Nepal in 1969, I assume he was visiting Nepal.

The second painting is of one of his famous dusty road compositions.

This painting also has Thyaga's address Jaipur as well.  In 1969 he would probably be around aged 47 years as we think he was born in 1922.  I think the dust road one is my favourite of the two.  Thanks John I hope you sell your paintings.

G D Paulraj - Dusty Road

I think this is by G D Paulraj, I only have a low resolution image so the signature is hard to read.  One of his usual dusty road and cart convoy images.

I like it I hope you do.
