Holiday Activity #3






Although the subject matter is set in the Mediterranean, the simplicity of this painting was inspired by Japanese art & design. The layers of paint are quite translucent to evoke the mood of calm water. It is quite large (39" in diameter) & is currently hanging in our room, which really brightens my mood because its circular shape makes it feel like I'm looking out of a boat window on a clear summer day. Holiday anyone?

This painting is for sale: inquiries welcome at shirinsahba @ gmail.com

Lotus Thoughts


An offering of lotus to my family whom I terribly miss these days, scattered in so many countries across the world. I love that you can buy fresh lotus flowers at the market here in Beijing...Not only do they inspire me to paint, but they remind me of my dear papa & the beautiful lotus temple he built in India, & of my mama who created beauty every where she would go & of course would only allow fresh flowers in the house (she is pictured above on her wedding day). More paintings to come soon...

The Guru Walks His Dog




He isn't a very old fashioned guru, more of a modern type, wouldn't you say?
Thank you to all you lovely people who came out for my exhibit in Hong Kong! I will post photos very soon. It's still going until the 28th of June, so please stop by if you get a chance!
