Exploring Chennai's Coastal Charms: A Morning Adventure!

Whenever I find myself in Chennai, there's one ritual I never miss—the early morning drive along ECR beach to Mahabalipuram, catching the breathtaking sunrise. Accompanied by my nephew, who resides in the area, we embark on a fun car drive indulging in the best local delicacies and exploring the vibrant surroundings.

During one such drive, I stumbled upon a broken, abandoned boat, which inspired me to paint. With swift strokes, I adorned it with colours, leaving my mark amidst the tranquil coastal scenery.

Embracing the serenity of the moment, I also relished the simple joy of feeling the cool ocean waters lapping at my feet—a perfect blend of art and nature's beauty.

When it comes to outdoor painting, I often find myself drawn to static subjects that tell a story, especially since I need to capture them rapidly. Lately, I've been obsessed with this truck shed near Whitefield, Bangalore. It's a bustling hub where various trucks come and go, and the ground is frequented by pigeons feasting on fallen grains—a sound that resonates with me as a pet lover.

One weekend evening, with the sun dipping low, I took the chance to visit this spot. After securing permission, I settled in and began to capture the scene before me.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, my attention was drawn to two trucks, each with its own distinct identity. Despite the constant arrival of more trucks, I forged ahead with each brushstroke, rapidly capturing the evolving scene.
