Everything I have painted since 2020

--

Some of the artwork stayed behind in Delhi when we moved to DC in December 2021

This map was Anurag’s request — it’s supposed to be the Gall-Peters projection
Mehrangarh Fort overlooking the blue city (I’ve never been to Jodhpur but looking at stills from the recent incredible movie Banda makes me think I got some of it right)
Lal Kila
Qutub Minar (clearly I had a Delhi theme going)
More delhi (this is supposed to be two men walking on a cold morning in Delhi.. those are woollen caps on their heads, Anurag disagrees and thinks they are punjabi uncle turbans)
delhi and another recurring theme — women reading in sarees
more woman reading in saree
woman in saree but doing something else — this was painted while listening to Anoushka Shankar
inspired by a trip to Jaipur
inspired by a crafts of India coffee table book
inspired by Pahadi art
inspired by coke studio
inspired by the first hike i ever did with my mother
inspired by my first ever trip to Acadia, Maine
inspired by the place where I met my partner

… I did one of the DC monument skyline recently but I’m not too happy with it. Hopefully I won’t abandon my paints during the PhD and there will be more art in the future.
