Description
Storm Chasers is an oil painting done on canvas. This is a painting inspired by a photograph taken by my friend Dr. Prashanth Kumar. I have always been an admirer of Dr. Kumar's photography, which consumes him outside of his practice of endocrinology. I loved the tumultuous sky in this particular photograph. I love the composition. It reminds me of the movie Twister and the scientists going into the storm to study tornadoes. This is the inspiration for the title of my painting, Storm Chasers! I used some sparkly oil paint, generously donated by Cecilia Brendel, for the waters in the sea. In the distance, if you look carefully, rain is coming down and the clouds are coming in quite menacingly. If you could hear the painting, I am sure you would hear the raucous thunder that would send many a soul to take refuge. So the question is, where did the owners of these three bikes go? Obviously they must be chasing the storm! I will be painting some more of Dr. Kumar's photographs of the waters he captures during his world travels in a series called "Prashanth".

Please note that the sale of this original art will generate funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to help raise money for cancer research. I was introduced to the work of LLS in 2017. This organization that has climbed up 30 points in one year on the Forbes charity navigator. It is run by highly competent scientists and physicians who I have personally met. They believe they can cure cancer within our lifetime, and I agree. Study and look at the progress they have made since their inception nearly 70 years ago! The cure rate of blood cancers in 1960, the year I was born, was 3%. Today it is 94%. The research continues to happen at a feverish pace all over the world to bridge that gap. I raise money for Aparna who sadly lost her fight to cancer. We are losing many more as we speak whose lives have been cut short by these dreadful diseases. Just within the last week we have lost two of the greats, Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor, to this deadly disease. Every life is precious. It is our responsibility to help fund the fight and propel discoveries. We are the product of such discoveries. We enjoy a longer life expectancy because of the discoveries of people who came before us. I am a product of scholarships that were provided to me when I was a young, bright-eyed, enthusiastic PhD student who put in nearly 15 hours a day toward research. So I ask you unabashedly, on behalf of these scholars who toil, to help find those discoveries that will finally beat cancer.
