Nature



Watercolor on paper
15 x 20 in.
SOLD

This is a scene from Mumbai city. Can you believe? Well...Its actually a national park called the "Sanjay Gandhi National Park"in suburban Mumbai. I took some photographs when I visited the park. I actually wanted to capture some early morning shots but it rained heavily that morning and so I was able to visit only after 10 am. Nevertheless, got some good pictures of the park!
Painting this was pretty challenging! Did this in two sittings. Required much patience. Have used various techniques in this like spattering and scratching etc. But couldn't think of a good title! I'm sure you could suggest something better than this!
Another news which I want to share and pretty excited about is that myself, Prabal and Praveen (my blogger friends) will be doing a group show at Bangalore in the month of July. I came to know Prabal and PC (Praveen) through blogging and we are nice friends now! I've met Prabal personally twice now during my trips to Bangalore but yet to meet Praveen!

Have a great weekend :)

  1. Stunningly beautiful. I think I like the water and the reflections most. On second thoughts, maybe I like the foliage most. Well, no. I think I like the rocks and the pebbles most.

    Tell you what? I guess I like everything about it.

  9. What a beautiful painting and scene. Everything works so well, and you can almost sense the warmth and humidity. The composition is great..the eye moves around taking in the light reflections in the foreground and then back to the darkness in the trees. The blue and yellow reflections are so well done. I think this is one of those perfect paintings. Well done!!
    Congratulations on the show.

  17. Outstanding, Ramesh! You've done such an amazing job of keeping it loose while retaining the illusion of exceptional detail. And the light! Your work always has the most gorgeous light and clear,clean color!

  18. Sorry I missed this post earlier, Ramesh.I would have called it 'Reflections'!Its a very nice landscape.A tough one, too.I always find it hard to paint trees and leaves...Only the yellow in the water at the right corner is dragging all the attention to itself!Could it have been more subtle? Or is it just my imagination?
    And BTW, congrats for coming together for the show, guys.Its great news!

  19. "Full of light."

    That would be the best title for this painting, Ramesh!

    Congrats on the upcoming show too!
