Goa!

A memorable holiday at the Grand Hyatt, Goa with Bilal, Mom, Adil and me...an amazing location by the Bambolim Bay...we could hear the gentle lapping of the waves ..music to my ears..and the bay itself was so charming and absolutely spelt the colors of Goa!! So there i was, seated on the edge of the beach under a sun umbrella with my new Stillman and Birn sketchbook, (carried to india by dearest Bills), and I painted this chariming Bambolim Bay , in less than an hour!!
Bills loved it and has carried it with him to frame it and put it up in his study!! Am so happppppy!!

The Grand Hyatt boasts of acres of landscaped gardens and lush greenery ,all by the Arabian sea...The swaying palms were hypnotic and mesmerizing ....I had to paint them as they swayed to the music created by the soft breeze under the gay Goan sunshine...!! 
Again, in my new Stillman and Birn sketchbook....
