Torrents

Water Colour on paper 9.5" x 14"
Completed this yesterday and had an amazing experience doing it.

Some years ago I had visited Velneshwar, a beautiful coastal town in Konkan. It was Holi season and many boats had lined up in the sea. It was a wonderful sight to see during the day, in the evening when the Sun was setting the silhouettes of the boats danced on the waves and in the night when the small lamps lit up on the boats...... it was divine.
I started working on this painting with the silhouettes of the boats, early evening, the Sun just setting and wonderful atmosphere. Slowly but surely the evening progressed and so did my painting.... The rain clouds appeared from no where. The Sun still hung around to witness the meeting of the sea and the clouds.
The clouds grew bigger and bigger and started coming closer .... as close as they could..... to meet the Sea. No longer could they hold and then the Torrents came down.
Torrents of emotion... Torrents of Love.... :-)

Seemed like I lived a whole Evening while painting the Torrents. Wow it was divine :-)
