i) Sunflowers:

In the words of Anupda:

"The Painting above is a small one measuring 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" done on cardboard using acrylic colours.

It is a copy of a single sunflower motif on a greeting card. I have taken artistic liberties and added a few more sunflowers fading into the distance. 

It was a painting I did very quickly, using an impasto style and enjoyed doing it."

ii) Rum Runner:

"A painting of a Pirate ship at full sail on the High Seas, by Anup Banerjee (Anupda) hunting for "Rum Runners". Adds Anupda " This is a painting I did some years ago of the Man-O-War ships used by Jack Morgan to attack and loot the ships carrying rum & gold from the Caribbean colonies to England."

This painting was earlier contributed by Anupda for my Blog when I did a post on the Rum Runners (Pirate ships) in the Caribbean during the "Golden Age of Piracy":
