An artist from Maharashtra has utilised the coronavirus-induced lockdown to hone his creative skills by getting closer to nature and paint images of some prominent personalities on river stones.

Suman Dabholkar, a drawing teacher at a Thane school, used his brush strokes and colours to paint images of Lord Vitthal, scientist Albert Einstein, former president A P J Abdul Kalam, cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and M S Dhoni, actors Sonu Sood, Naseeruddin Shah and poet Narayan Surve.
