    Cool Slopes

    I came across these majestic peaks towering over glacial lakes in Banff National park, Canada on TV channel. The snow, sky, valley and the slopes looked so surreal. The scene was 'so cool!' and inspiring.

    Wild Splatter

    i am often drawn to the wild poppies and daises. They look good whether they are in the wild or they are in an arrangement, but they always look wild, yet beautiful. watercolours on 160 gsm paper 11 x 8 inch #watercolorartist #watercolours #watercolors #aquarela #aqurelle #flowerpainting #daisies #poppies #artbymranand #artbymra https://www.instagram.com/p/CT33A8zFX0S/ https://twitter.com/artbymra/status/1438392566848786432/photo/1

    Colours of Buffalo

    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.

    River Rapids

    I love those hills and the meandering rapids with splashing foam. Reminds me of my river rafting in 2004 experience with family on the Teesta river bordering Sikkim and West Bengal.

    Elks in Velvet

    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'. Watercolours on handmade paper 280 gsm, 22 x 15 inch. #watercolours #watercolors #aquarelle #aqurela #watercolorartist
