The artist within this old journalist
yet uninitiated - a barren land
Untilled, awaiting the seeds?
The festering seeds - concealed
Without the gesture of an inviting plot.
A vicious cycle unbroken .....

My niece, J. Dhakshini, a second generation artist in our family chatting with me and my wife, Thevasaina who is an artist herself. (Thevasaina's painting forms the header for my blog.)
 Dhakshini who lives in Chennai, India has a bright future ahead as she has a rich imagination and is a keen observer.
On the wall in this picture, is one of Dhakshini's abstract/symbolic paintings that she unveiled at her first solo exhibition in Malaysia recently.
Through these young artists we see our Cheras Art Circle growing beyond the confines of  its roots at 2 1/2 mls Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.
