Comments by visitors to the exhibition

अतिशय सुंदर ! दोन वर्षात चित्राच्या चित्रशैलीतील विकसित झालेले विविध पैलू व हाताळणीतील प्राविण्य आश्चर्यचकीत करते. चित्राने अलिकडच्या काळात केलेली मेहनत व प्रगती कौतुकास्पद आहे.

खूप सुंदर प्रदर्शन! प्रत्यक्ष हिमाचल मध्ये जावून आल्याचा आनंद ह्या कलाकृती पाहून मिळाला. पुन्हा एकदा हिमाचलात जावून नवीन नजरेतुन निसर्ग पहावा ही इच्छा मनात आली. Thank you Chitratai!

चित्रा सर्व चित्रे अतिशय सुंदर झाली आहेत. 'अभिनंदन'. तुझे हे यश पहायला तुझे गुरु 'अण्णा' असायला हवे होते असे मनोमन वाटते.

Water Color मधील फुलांची चित्रे खूप आवडली. हिमाचल मधले landscape पाहून तिथेच गेल्यासारखे वाटले. Freshness, texture साठी अभिनंदन !

- Sagar Gokhale

प्रदर्शन खुप अप्रतिम आहे. शहरी आणि ग्रामीण भागातील घरे व जंगल याचा मिलाप व अप्रतिम ग्रामीण सौंदर्य यांचे प्रदर्शन खुपच सुंदर आहे. त्यामुळे असे प्रदर्शन वारंवार भरवून आम्हास पाहावेस मिळावे.
