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.


I took some pics for reference for this painting on one of my trips to India .

The yellow of the fields and fast moving clouds fascinates me .one can actually feel the movement of clouds and breeze by looking at them .
