A Playful Guru

I've been sketching guru-like characters in my Moleskine...Good news! I have an upcoming exhibition in Hong Kong...More soon on that. Meanwhile, I'm listening to some Devendra Banhart to get in the mood to paint up a storm.

Journey to Town

Lavender skies & marigold fields make for an unexpected combination. These two sisters are making their way into town with copper pots on their head to carry their wares.
I'm back from our trip (I will share some photos soon), feeling well-fed, inspired & ready to paint!

This painting is 30"x 30" in size & is sold.

Love in the time of Aeroplanes

My husband & I are traveling the Mediterranean again. It's been a wonderful time, eating good food, exploring & laughing with loved ones. I cannot wait to see my brand new niece in Italy in a week! This is a photo of us being cheeky hippies in our new place in Beijing just before we left on our trip.

The Outing

The Maharani is being carried in her intricate Palki. Of course this is because she didn't want to soil her sari! The tones of emerald are inspired by Jaipur's beautiful architecture. This painting is 30" x 30", & is available. Please inquire by e-mail if you are interested (shirinsahba @ gmail.com).

A friend told me that a movie called The Fall, reminded him of my paintings, so of course I had to see it, & it was stunning. This particular Jaipur doorway used in the film reminds me of this painting:

The Girl who Tamed the Zebra

Inspired by a real girl who would be quite capable of taming a zebra! On an unrelated note, I have adored this image of a Samburu woman with a zebra for a long time now. They are a wild species, but perhaps there are some exceptions?

The Maharani's Expedition

The Maharani appears yet again, & she's making a run for it! Always seeking new horizons to explore as she gallivants through flowers of India pinks, reds & corals...

This painting is 30" x 30" & is available just sold. I ship worldwide. Please don't hesitate to inquire...
