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 :-)

In the heart of Pune City.... there is an old Temple complex called Tulshi Baug. There is an old Temple of Lord Ram and this painting is of a smaller Temple adjacent to the main temple.
There are many small shops around the Temple selling articles useful for Puja, Kitchen utensils, beautiful brass, bronze articles and many many more.
A unique place and a must visit location when in Pune

One day while sketching I found this spot near Nivara Ashram Pune. This actually is a Electricity board warehouse (probably) and also had transformers and what not in front of it. Obviously I had to remove it and see what happens to the landscape ;-)?
Enjoy

I had been to Seattle many times during my stay in the Unites States between 2007 and 2010. I just, absolutely loved the place, the climate, the people and everything.
My aunt who stays there sent me fotos of their walk in Arboretum and I just could not resist painting from them.
