Rajasthani Blues


In the state of Rajasthan there is a city by the name of Jodhpur, where parts of the city are painted blue. I find the rich shades of indigos & azure they paint their walls with utterly enchanting. One can almost get lost in them...This painting is 30" x 40" in size.

  2. Another gorgeous painting. I just love these shades of blue too.

    And LOVE your new banner. You are the only person I've come across with these animated banners. Really wonderful!

  3. Seriously, Shirin, I don't think you realize the sheer joy I experience whenever you post a new painting.

    The skyline is divine! The blue is lovely! The little green boat is super sweet! And those two characters! Well, I want to befriend them. What do you think they are chatting about? I hope it has nothing to do with reality tv.

    Remarkable work.

    I swear, one day I will stalk you in China (and in the most non-creepy way, I promise!)
