A view from Agra Fort,

This view from the Agra Fort overlooking the river is fantastic, but I was interested in the possibilities of a great sky and the areal perspective that offered. Made the sky to give a peaceful feeling, the magnificence of the building and the architecture being the focal point I could capture the atmosphere of the evening sunlight. Another one for the forthcoming exhibition!

Shore Temple, Maamallapuram, Tamilnadu,India

The first one I painted as a study on A4 size. Spent lot of time sketching before that to improve the composition, adding the sea was an after thought and it seemed to have worked well.


The painting below is the finished bigger version.

Paintings from Grasmere(Lake District)

Spent a wonderful weekend in Lake District, doing a workshop with Peter Woolley. Made 2 paintings from the workshop! Here they are. The first one was based on the sketch made outside Grasmere and the second one was done just sitting outside the village hall of Grasmere.





They will be on view in the forthcoming exhibition!
