Low Tide, Gorai Creek

Watercolor on paper

14 x 21 inches

Done from one of my reference pics of Mumbai city. This is a scene of Gorai creek in suburban Mumbai. One has to cross this creek in order to reach the Gorai beach. While walking towards the ferry, I noticed this wonderful scene of light shining on the sand and immediately captured it on my camera. The famous global vipassana pagoda is also seen in the distance. I have used masking fluid to save the whites just like my last painting of Gorai beach. The figures were added from imagination.

'Creek 2'

While passing through Asanur, a forest area, on the way to mysore, I saw this creek. I have painted the scene in both portrait and landscape formats. Would like to know which one you liked more!

I'll be absent from blogosphere for a little more than 2 weeks as I'm leaving on a trip to pune, mumbai, ahmedabad, udaipur and jodhpur tomorrow.

Another good news which I would like to share is that my painting titled 'After Rains' is sold in Sydney, Australia via indianartcollectors.com.
