Longing

This is what happens when you "let" accidents happen.
Going back to acrylics again after a while, I like how it turned out.

Cosmic trance

Shiva - in the classic Nataraj pose, doing the tandav, creating the energy of destruction, bringing on the change.

Rage

This is a scene from Mahabharata, made famous by the omnipresent painting where Arjun is trying to stop Krishna from breaking his vow, to not attack anyone in the war. Here He is angry and trying to attack Bhishma. I removed other elements from the picture to depict Krishna, the avatar, who in his rage forgets his self. Even gods fail.

Ambition

'Inspired' painting, modified from the original, was practicing oils on a smaller canvas.

Nirvana

Idea was to get the 'boodha' (as people call it :) disintegrate/integrate with 'music' - enlightenment through music - nirvana. Not so good an implementation of what I think was a better idea. But, there is one more thing that I need to do here, and then it should hopefully look better.

Update - the one more thing was done.
