Lone Farmer

Lone Farmer..this painting is dedicated to all farmers toiling for our basic needs. During childhood i used to eagerly look forward to run errands for my uncles working in the fields, with a cup of coffee or tea(one likes coffee and the other likes tea!) and tiffin. Wish i could have captured this at that time! Sometimes TIME stands still :-) Water colour on 400gsm hand made paper 20 x 14 "

Happy Journey

Recently i had gone to see off my daughter at the Bangalore Cantonment Railway station at 6 am. I prefer this station as it is less crowded, clean and has these lovely quaint old arches. Dawn was just breaking and the sky was lighting up with pink colour. Water colour on handmade paper 300 gsm, 22 x 15"

Tranquility

I was carried away by the tuscany landscape when i saw it the first time.  This has been in my to-do list for a long time. With my 9 days 9 paintings challenge  i thought it was the right time to do this hills- view as the celebration of Navrathri ( nine nights).  9/9 of Navratri series.  Water colour on Brustro 300gsm cold pressed paper 16 x 12 inch

Summer Retreat

8/9 of Navrathri series...Loved the way in which the house was tucked in the light among the dark shadows of the tree leaves and the bushes!  May be i overdid the near house:-(..Water colour on hand made 300gsm paper 14 x 10 ".

Sea Side

7/9 of my Navrathri series of 9 days 9 paintings! One of the popular beaches on the west coast of India facing the Arabian Sea. water colour on handmade paper 300gsm 14 x 10 inch

Dream Villa

6/9 of Navrathri celebrations. Water colour on Brustro cold pressed 300gsm paper 16 x 12 inch.

River Walk

5/9 of Navratri celebrations! I like to paint the sunlight filtering through the trees/ branches and the reflections in the water. Water colour on hand made paper 14 x 10 inch.

Hill View

4/9 of Navratri series...This scene reminds me of the quaint villages in north east that were part of the helipad landscape. The clouds would be in the valley in the mornings and ascend as the day progresses.

Hues of Sun

3/9 of Navratri challenge....A seaside beach scene, is always a feast to the eyes, be it sunrise of sunset!  the hues that sun showers on us it mesmerising!  Water colour on Brusto cold pressed 300gsm paper, 16 x 12 inch


the smaller version is the quick paint (8 x 6 inch) i did before the bigger one.  I am posting this because a lot of the spontaneity is lost when you make bigger paintings! Anyway nothing like hand made paper for water colour sceneries.

Wood Walk!

2/9 challenge of Navrathri--Water colour on handmade 300gsm paper 14 x 10 inch. Lost out on colour harmony due to some adventurous green! But checked out my black and white..and to my surprise the values were not bad at all! Some consolation :-)
