How a painter can change...............!

This is a typical concrete and stucco facade

Then the wall starts to take on a 
3-dimensional appearance: - 
 

This is Eric, in his element, 30' off the ground. 

He does most of the artwork by himself
& researches, paints and designs each project from scratch. 

His wife Kathy, also an artist,
serves as project manager.

Also, look at the close-up of the left side: -

into this wall on a daily basis?) 

Indoor Murals at the Hallway of Miller Brewery...

Hooks, clipboards and aprons were added to 
the surface of the murals to enhance the illusion...

You're looking at FLAT walls!

SIMPLY AMAZING, ISN'T IT? 

I wonder how many people walk into the walls, while trying to go down a hallway that does not exist!

Can't we do our subways as beautiful as this?

It needs great amount of dedication and brilliancy in creating illusions. I wonder if there are any such persons in India... Dear Shri Hariharan, You are such a wonderful explorer. Every day you bring up some interesting posts in your blog, most of them are really informative. Eventhough you are out of station, you didn't miss to post. Thanks for all such posts.

C.I.A. isn’t short for Central Information Agency! The middle word is Intelligence ... and for good reason. The difference between information and intelligence is the data receiver’s ability to DO something (take positive action) rather than just KNOW something. So, take business information sharing to the next level.

Help people develop the ability to USE the data you provide. Encourage thinking and analysis by asking questions like: What does this information tell us? What can we conclude? What are the implications of this information for us and what we do?

My diary - 14th November 2010

Dear friends,

I will be out of country for two months. I am going to spend some quality time with my relatives in USA and en route, will be in London for five days. Hence, I may not be active here atleast for a week. I know, I could not be active even for the past 15 days in preparation for my trip. I hope I will be able to find more time once I am settled in USA.

If there is any mail from me, stating that I am stranded either in London or somewhere else, ( since the hacker is closely following my activities) don't get concerned and do not respond to such mails. If I am landed in problem, I have my son and other relatives whom I will approach first, and I will not be troubling any of you for money.

I will be missing the music season this year.

One minute painting

I requested my daughter to teach me to upload some of the videos, I have in my hard disc to enable you all to see . She took this one minute drawing  for demonstration to save time. We then rushed to station to drop her and I forgot to erase this demonstration. I did not even given any title, and not created label also.

By the time I came back I found already appreciation comment  on this from Ms. Vaishnavi. Next day early morning, I left for Tanjore and came only today. The whole day was hectic and I did not open my blog site at all. Now I found another appreciation from my good friend Mr. Rbs. Seeing the response and liking , I decided to keep this as posting.

Hi appa!!

An appeal

me with my grand children

Dear friends,

This is the mail I received from one of the readers of the blog. Please try to help in her endeavour to trace the details about her Grand father. Even today, a new follower of my blog is a Sanskrit teacher from Kerala. Let us try to help her.

Good morning Mr. Hariharan Vaidayanathan

I am emailing you from Canada. I just spent a little while reading your website on Tamil scholars. Wonderful site; lots of information.  I thought it might be okay to email you about my grandfather.

I have spent the last few days trying to learn a bit more about my grandfather who was a famous Sanskrit scholar and English Professor from Kerala.  He died in the early 1970s. I had met him on numerous occasions……always realizing that he was someone important. No one in my family seems to know much about him, professionally. Are you able to help me fill in the blanks on his life.

Here is what I have pieced together so far:

·         His name = Shri Doraiswamy Shastri (his older family members called him Krishna) 
·         Died = mid 1970s; was in his 60s 
·         Palghat Brahmin – lived in Palghat 
·         Family were wealthy landowners – lost it all during the 1950s land repatriation in Kerala. 
·         Had two Masters or doctorates – one in Sanskrit; the other in English 
·         Was Chancellor of some universities in India and Ceylon (don’t know which ones) 
·         Was guru to Birla family 
·         Was speechwriter/advisor to Smt. Bhandarnayake, ex-PM of Sri Lanka 
·         Was invited often to speak at Sri Shankaracharya Muddam in Kalady; 
·         Also, in later life toured India speaking about Shankaracharya’s teachings.

Apparently, when he died there was a huge obituary write-up in Kerala newspapers. No one seems to have a  copy.

I am not sure how to track down more information about him. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Meena

Come on friends. Let us do it
