Bloomin' silk cottons

Sunday's roadtrip

Went fora ride on 2 Enfields to some rocky cliffs just out of Delhi. Here are some watercolours from that trip.

Soar

Working on some paintings for the show in Goa.

Elsewhere and back again

It has been a most enchanting episode of moonlit walks on the beach, creative release and relaxed time spent in the company of friends.

Going Elsewhere

Headed off for a few days to magical Elsewhere. Here are a few pages from my sketchbook.

Pondering once again

Silk cotton trees

I have been taking regular walks around the rain water reservoir built at Hauz Khas in the 13th century, it is there that we chanced upon a lovely grove of silk cotton trees that are very special. In a few weeks these bare trees will be full of red/orange flowers.
These couple of paintings were put up at our recent group art show.

Collective art show

Art show in Delhi, this Saturday.

Greetings from India

I cannot believe that I hadn't a clue what beauteous monuments reside in our backyard here in Delhi. So this morning I stepped out a did a watercolour of Hauz Khas, a 13th century place of learning, now in ruin, by a placid reservoir. The light was sublime, with parakeets perched on lonesome trees.
So here are some watercolours.
It's good to be back.
Love,
Prash

Autumn in my soul

The moon is high and there's a stirring in my bones
I chose not to listen to the subliminal tones
That awaken the deep dark senses that often do prevail
In substantial notions of this autumnal tale.

My leaves are slowly falling, turning red and gold
My senses tend to delve, into my stories never told
I'm grasping to the colours that transcend time and space
My actions are my answers, it's another winter that I face.

The feeling is of excitement, a travelling that lasts
of moving on to present, beyond a sea of pasts
I'm sailing on an ocean, come rolling from a stream
My life to me has become a consequential dream.

Thank you for this magic, this ever present sound,
That skips across the the universe with peace and love abound.

My roots are growing deeper, my life is flying high,
I'm understandably soaring way beyond the sky
And into such proportions of peacefulness I seek,
of lessons that I gather, and experience that I speak.

My India report

Hello hello,

So this epic journey around India begins. I'm travelling around the country for a month, picking the brains of young Indians, to find out what's going on in the minds of our current generation.

The show is called 'My India report', where 6 of us travel to 8 different cities all over India. You can follow our travels on our blog before the blogumentary comes out on Channel V.
So check out

And much love from Mumbai,
Prash
P.S. I'm off to Ahmedabad tomorrow.

My show in Toronto

I will be there from 4 to 6 pm.
