white orchid in coconut shell

I love Orchids ,This one I replanted in a dry coconut shell .
You cant find much shadow in thia painting because of overcast weather at the time of painting and orchid is in shade. I particulary enjoyed painting the shell and roots area.

Indian policemen on horses

I dont consider this painting as finished yet .But still want to share.

Twilight sky is wonderfull .

These guys are from my hometown Hardwar,one of the most sacred city in Hinduism .

Horses are best way to pass narrow busy lanes in ancient city of Hardwar.

Every year millions hindus come to Hardwar to bathe in Holy river Ganga (Ganges ).

There will be paintings to follow of devotees and Ma Ganga (mother Ganges ).

Wheat and musturd fields.
