Light and shadow

'Police chowki, Udaipur'
Watercolor on paper
11 x 15 in.

This is the 'Police chowki' (Police station) in Udaipur. The bright light on the upper right portion of the building and the shadows caught my attention. Some unwanted elements were eliminated while composing, thereby keeping the composition simple and highlighting just the play of light and shadow.

  8. Very beautiful indeed! This painting reminds me of the work that Mortimer Menpes did in India during the early 1900s.
