Salman Khan is back to the canvas

A few months back, Salman Khan had told this newspaper that he had taken a break from his other passion - painting - thanks to his hectic schedule.

Recently however, he has picked up his brush again, and chances are, late night visitors toGalaxy Apartments may spot him in front of his canvas, completely engrossed in painting, hands soaked in colour with his signature bracelet kept aside on the table.

A friend of the actor said, "It's not as if he had completely stopped painting. While shooting, during breaks, he would start sketching on bits of paper with charcoal. He likes to doodle and experiment a lot."

Not one to make a song and dance about his paintings, people close to him think he sketches faces of those whom he loves the most.

"He is all heart, and everything he does is without intention. It all depends on his mood. He generally sketches faces though it isn't clear what exactly he is painting. He has no problems with people hanging around when he is painting, but it's quite obvious, he doesn't like to be disturbed," the source said.

We hear an exhibition of his paintings is on the cards...
