My trip to Goa



Hi...its been so long ( I always say this, he he...) So I'm back from Goa after participating in the India Art Camp, organized by the Camel Art Foundation for the winners of the All India Art Contest 2013. The camp was for 7 days in which the first 4 days included a workshop by well known installation artist, Dr Subodh Kerkar. The last 2 days was for sightseeing. Since this was the time of the monsoons, there were pre monsoon showers and some of the beaches were closed. This was the first time I had been to Goa so I didn’t mind the weather…he he! Made some good friends too. The participants were from all parts of India so it was a wonderful experience.
Now looking forward to making some paintings of Goa from my photo references. In fact, I’ve already finished one! Will be posting it soon.
