This is a painting by G D Paulraj of two ladies carrying water up a street with some more in the background.
I only have a small image but it looks like a nice painting. I had thought I had added this one before but I could not trace it on the blog.
Tribute to the three Raj brothers G D Paulraj, G D Arulraj and G D Thyagaraj and some of my experiences when I lived in India.
Admirer of Paul Raj Paintings
- Gold Finch
- 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 - Golden Tree
This is a very nice watercolour by G D Paulraj of a street scene and a beautiful 'Golden Tree' anyone know what kind of tree it is?
I am told that the tree is called "Cassia Fistula" or also known as the Indian Laburnum.

The painting is becoming one of my favourites. This was for sale on Ebay recently and sold nearly straight away for around £150.00 a very reasonable price for such a good painting.

G D Paulraj - Shrine under the big tree
This is a nice painting of a shrine under a Banyan tree by G D Paulraj, in the background you can see some people working in the fields.
It is owned by the same lady as the last Paul raj I posted, she went to school in Kodaikanal many years ago and her parents purchased the painting then.

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.
