A Street in Lonavala

A Street in Lonavala,  Pencil on Paper (3" x 6")

This is a sketch of the lovely town of Lonavala.  Its is a beautiful hilly town in western Maharashtra which is at its best during the monsoons. And I almost forgot the chikkis. This place is also famous for its delicious dry fruit chikkis (a preparation of dry fruit, jaggery, sugar etc.)

Thank you all for stopping by. All comments and critiques are most welcome.

Boats

White Ferry, Watercolour on paper (14" x 22")

The Day Off, Watercolour on paper (14" x 22")

These were done a couple of years ago. I really enjoy paintings boats in watercolour. I wish I lived somewhere in the coastal area so I could paint as many of them as I wanted.

Inspiration and a Few Sketches

All of us know the importance of sketching  in the development of an artist. The work of Adebanji Alade sure stands testimony to this. He sketches on the bus, train, tube and everywhere else that he can find time. Needless to say all this hard work transforms into some marvelous paintings which win him awards and other recognitions regularly. He is a continual inspiration to me and I am sure to many others.

I have travelled about 6000 km by rail in the last 5 days or so on account of my work. Tiresome as it was, I could not do any painting. However, I did manage to make a few quick sketches.
