A Fragrant Delivery

A rickshaw full of flowers is on it's way to some place... This painting reminds me of my mama who, no matter what the condition, time or country, would always grab an arm full of flowers before heading to visit someone's home. What a beautiful touch that is!

This painting is 30" x 30" & is available for sale SOLD.

A Curious Migration

A conference of multicoloured finches are migrating during a luminous dusk...This painting is 30" x 30" & is available for sale SOLD.

Speaking of flying, be sure to see my "Frequent Flyer" travel interview I did with the lovely Kisha of From India with Love ...

Daydreaming of summer days spent in the Mediterranean with all it's lush flora & fauna...
