Cranes In The Sunset

Cranes In The Sunset

The crane always looks majestic. Cranes captured against the setting sun create a magnificent image that is so fascinating. I had come across this image pained on a Chinese screen.

Medium used is Watercolor on paper.

Somehow this painting always reminds me of this quote –

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” – Rabindranath Tagore

Medium – Watercolor on paper.

A Walk In The Rain

Walk In The Rain

A Walk In The Rain

I love to walk in the rain
Look for me when it’s stormy
Down some lazy lane and I’ll be there
I’d love to walk in the rain
The lightning may be frightening
I love the rain so I don’t care
I feel wonderful
When the sky’s above are thunderful
I don’t complain
I know it’s fun in the sun
But take all kinds of weather
When all said and done
I love to walk, in the rain..

(Lyrics of the song by the same title, sung by Shirley Temple)

Medium – Watercolor on paper.

Bamboos

Bamboos

It never ceases to amaze me how something as commonplace as a cluster of bamboos stand out so beautifully in a painting or in a photograph. It is no wonder then that a lot of Chinese and other Oriental paintings have centred around this plant.

This is my humble attempt of capturing these bamboos in a watercolor.

 

African Woman

The human figure has always been prominent in African art, despite the diversity of cultures in this vast continent. Human figures going about their daily chores are quite common all over Africa, and this is just such a scene that I have tried to capture in this very simple Watercolor. The background used makes the image of this African woman with a basket over her head stand out more prominently.
