A Lonely Lighthouse

Painting on paper (watercolour)

Title - A Lonely Lighthouse

This is a fully imaginative work created by me last week. It was the result of the inspiration  I had gained  by visiting a lighthouse in Vizag, Andhra Pradesh.

In the Indian coastal side , we can get these types of lonely lighthouses  standing firmly against all the climatic disasters. This is quite inspiring to me. When I visited Visakhapatnam last January , I noticed two light houses there.

First time in my life I had entered into a lighthouse in Visakhapatnam .  I perched the top of the the lighthouse to see the "Bay Of Bengal" from here. A breath taking view of the sea  was waiting for the visitors . I captured many shots . Cool gentle breeze was passing by. The day was sunny. I was deeply motivated by the scenic view from there . The Lighthouse is situated on the hill top. The big ships were looking like a small ant from there.

Trains are always my favourite subject for painting. This is a painting which I completed yesterday. I always love to travel by train rather than plane. In near future I have a plan that I will do a solo exhibition based on my train paintings.

Abstract Landscape

The idea of this abstract landscape came in my mind when I was just roaming on the beautiful Yarada Beach in Andhra Pradesh near Visakhapatnam. I have mentioned in my previous post that I have recently toured Visakhapatnam , Rushikonda,Yarada beach,Shimachalam, Bheemlipatnam and other beautiful places in Andhra Pradesh . 

Yarada Beach is one of the beautiful beach I have ever seen in my life. Perfect spot for open air painting. The beach is very lonely .Surrounded by blue hills and coconut trees.The view of  Bay of  Bengal is awesome  from the Yarada Beach. Next time when I will visit Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu,Karnataka, Kerela
