Doing lots of still life painting these days. Spending more time in my studio these days. The scorching heat outside preventing me to do open air works. So for next two months I will confine myself in the studio for the hot summer. Have a plan to do lots of still life works each day.

Recently I visited  Visakhapatnam for an art related project. The tour was really unforgettable. The place is really nice for open air painting. I have visited Rusikonda, Bheemli, Simhachalam Hill,Lord Varaha Narasimha Swami's Temple, Ross Hill,Yarada village,Yarada Beach,Kailasagiri Hill,Tennati Park,VUDA Park,R.K.Beach, Light House,Dolphine Nose Point, Hindustan Ship Yard,Araku Valley and many other places. The weather was perfect for the tour. The people here are very well mannered ,helpful,disciplined and hardworking. APSRTC bus services are one of the best bus services I have ever seen in my life. 

The view of Bay of Bengal from R.K.Beach,Rushikonda,Yarada Beach and Bheemli is breathtaking. Visakhapatnam Railway station is also very beautiful and well maintained. I reached VIZAG  by Chennai -Santragachi AC Bi-weekly Super Fast Express. Visakhapatnam 
city is surrounded by small and big hills. I caught the bus 900k from APSRTC bus terminus for Bheemli. The tour was a majestic one. The bus runs through the Beach road for an hour. On the way you can view the hills of Kailasagiri,Rushikonda and Bay of Bengal simultaneously. 

Visakhapatnam or Vizag is really a paradise on earth. You can find here lakes,cool beaches,vallies,caves,rivers,forests,parks,big ships,light houses,mountain ranges,sanctuary,mountain railway (Visakhapatnam to Kirandul ) ,museums and many other interesting things.

Paintings on paper 

In northern part of the West Bengal we can find these types of  wooden houses. They are the feast for the eyes. Every time when I visit these beautiful places I can't prevent myself from sketching,drawing and painting. Really these places are the  constant inspiration for my creative journey.

Wet on wet method has been applied here. Though the paper was not very supportive ( not a handmade paper ). It is a kind of speed- painting.

watercolour painting on paper (7" x 11" )

Often I like to paint  a simple composition like this. Last time when I visited North Bengal , I noticed various kinds of wooden houses beautifully coloured and maintained by the local people. Each one is different from the other. I always love to paint them. Here I am sharing a painting with you.
