5 grand years....

Here is a painting I did of two lovely people, Afsi & Luigi, who were married in a church in Sicily. Afsi is something of a muse of mine (yes, she has rights to wander my studio in a toga throwing fairy dust this way & that). This painting is quite accurate to how they whizzed away on a Vespa right after being married, sunglasses & all. The first image is a watercolour sketch of the final painting.

Speaking of weddings, it's been 5 years that I was married to one marvelous man, & the marvelous adventures continue!

Om Padme Om

I placed an offering of lotus flowers for my Buddha who is the keeper of my studio (a gift from my papa). How humble he is compared to this magnificent Buddha I came across yesterday! Off to some bon voyages. I do hope your summer is going beautifully wherever you are love...

The Synchronized Swimmers

A playful tribute to Esther Williams. I dreamt of being in her dizzying troop as a young girl, amazed at her under water skills & ability to hold her breath for such long intervals. If we ever met in person, I just know we'd get along swimmingly.

See the "Bathing Beauty" at work in this clip.

This painting is available. Feel free to inquire.

Wandering The Orient

Here are little glimpses of our life on a roll of Holga film I just had developed after a year. The first is in India, & the last two are of Beijing during this last Spring Festival.

The Maharani Seeks Adventure

I still have the saffron colours of India on my mind...Looks like there is no keeping up with this little Maharani!

To The Market!

The African sky in Kenya is a beautiful one, & unpredictable from one moment to the next. The clouds melt into a bright orange sunset in a sudden & pleasant manner...But I warn you, if you go to Africa, you will inevitably leave behind a little bit of yourself...
This painting is about 60" x 30" in size.

Technicolor Mist

We saw this brilliant exhibit at 798 (the ever popular gallery district in Beijing) called Feelings Are Facts, by Olafur Eliasson & Ma Yansong. It was a gallery filled with thick fog & multi-coloured lights. You couldn't see beyond just a few feet away from you & believe it or not the fog tasted sweet!
