Go bananas

'Go bananas'

Watercolor on Arches CP 300 gsm,

21 x 29 inches

The city of joy, Kolkata, has some of the biggest markets in Asia, selling fruits and flowers and I love painting such market scenes.  I was amazed by the sheer quantity of bananas sold in one such market. This was literally a 'go bananas' moment for me.

I've started working on a new series called the 'Kolkata Series'.

Kolkata still has that old world charm with its magnificent architectural buildings of the past, trams, rickshaws and the yellow ambis (taxis). Plenty of subjects all around. I'll be adding many more to this collection...
