Summer in Agra

Size: 20 x 24 inches

I still remember the intense feelings I experienced the first time I saw the Taj Mahal in person. Would this wonder live up to expectations? As I caught my first glimpse, I knew this was somewhere special. Walking up to this tomb, I was caught off-guard by the intricacies and detailing of all the walls and ceilings. Simply breath taking. Years on, I still have a sense of awe every time I think this majestic icon of India.

This piece is a nod to my Indian heritage. As you look at this painting, I hope you find moments of joy and wonder as I combine the natural – in the orange trumpet flowers – with the urban – details of the Taj Mahal in the beating heart of Agra, India.

Created with a combination of brushwork, application with a palette knife, and acrylic paint pens, this original artwork has been finished with a satin varnish for protection. The painting in ready to hang with plaint painted canvas edges and picture wired installed.
