mid-way through painting of 1 of the idiots

I started off with my life's first portrait, its of Sudhirs and I am almost there, a sort of mid-way. Took me nearly whole day to come up to there, but still I lack in giving it as a real picture, but yeah I know for sure I have learned things with this one and will be on to the next one, it will be of Nandu's, but his portrait will be in just blue, black and white shades.

My Unfinished Painting

I started of with this paintings on 23Dec08, yeah they are not yet finished and are in the same state as of I left it then. I am not sure when it will be finished and as I am not a real artist like professionals, I do painting only when I get interest and so not sure when they will be finished :), mmmmm lets wait an see if I can finish with this one or not.

Recollecting my past painting which I used to do with water color, I have done birla temple painting in the past but then it was way back, I don't even remember to whom I have given the painting then, if its still there.

2 Idiots portraits

I have been given task by two idiots (off-course Sudhir and Nandu) to have there portraits been done. I have started off with Sudhir as I have a good pic of him, but Nandus mmmm still waiting for his good pic, I am not an portrait artist but trying out this will be a great experience. I have done the outline with pencil on 15" X 22" inch of Sudhirs. Will be starting on Nandu's when he will provide me with a good pic :)

Will be starting on giving it color, just thinking on how to give it!, I mean should I give it as usual skin color or should I go with a sort of creativity to give it a single color...it all depends on my mode when I start on it, until then...wait and see :)

DOS/MAC to Liunx/Unix text file converter

This is a common problem if you work on linux/unix flavors and when you check out you find an shell script which is just an ascii file is not working, when you try to run it says "bash: ./mk.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"

Simple solution is to convert the text file (shell script) which is in DOS/MAC into LINUX/UNIX text format using "dos2unix" command. Need to run as "dos2unix "
