SITAR

watercolour painting on handmade paper

Sitar is a world famous Indian classical musical instrument.It is an acoustic instrument. As a Fine Artist and also as a performing Classical Sitar Artiste I have a deep love for this beautiful instrument.  When I  do my fine art  works in my studio I often like to listen  a classical sitar recital of my own or other artists in  cd player. This helps to enhance my creative energy and also motivates me to create more.

This is a semi-abstract watercolour painting on sitar  created by me last year.
