I had once gone on white water rafting in teesta river with my family, and any scene with rapids always remind me of that wonderful experience. White water is a challenge as you have to paint water with very little colours! watercolors on handmade paper 16 x 9 inch #watercolorartist #aquarelle #aquerla #artistoninstagram #landscapeart #artbymra #artbymranand #rapids https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjwzbw1rFcg/ https://twitter.com/artbymra/status/1581514768342745089/photo/1

The ubiquitous water buffalo is quite common in Tamilnadu and roams freely even if they are domestic. I have heard people calling lethargic individuals as Erum(ai) Made (Buffalo in tamil). When i was a child i remember going to the street corner in the mornings and waiting till the milkman used to milk a she-buffalo and retun home with some fresh milk.

When i saw a photograph captured by Somesh Nagthan of the Elks at Yellowstone, i knew i would paint it some day. Yesterday after half an hour of sifting through my computer i found it. What a breathtaking scene, the elks are cautious and alert, their look tells it all. During spring the new antlers that are growing on the elks are covered 'in velvet'.
