GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE,
San Francisco, California
I have been a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area for almost a decade now! Every time I visit the part of the city where the Golden Gate Bridge stands tall and defines the skyline and boundaries, I am filled with awe. Every time I drive on the bridge, I feel like admiring this engineering marvel for hours, witnessing its beauty. Since it’s situated on the Bay, to find a clear blue sky is a hit or miss, especially for those who are traveling. However, this image was captured on one such clear day when not only the bridge, but also the hills in the background, were clearly visible, contrasting the Golden Gate’s red with nature’s green.

Urban Fields
Amidst the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, I discovered a serene escape through outdoor exercise. The crown jewel of my neighbourhood was a picturesque creek that I encountered on my daily walks. As I approached, I marveled at the stunning contrast between the natural beauty of the marsh and grassland, and the bustling urban landscape just beyond the creek’s walls. Towering electric poles loomed overhead, a stark reminder of the hustle and bustle of modern life. I was grateful for the opportunity to disconnect from the world and immerse myself in the tranquility of nature. This stunning painting transports me back to those days of complete seclusion and an effortless connection with the natural world.

THE DOOR FRONT
This is one of my first experiments with watercolors, where I experimented with painting doors and facades of European streets. I was inspired by the amazing doors in the front facades of European buildings and thought it would be a great start to bring them onto paper.

DRIVE TO YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK
I live about four hours away from Yosemite National Park and have visited the park at least once every year. The roads that lead to the park offer the most beautiful views, and although I have driven them at least a dozen times in the past decade, they never fail to spark my curiosity at every turn. Furthermore, it’s a perfect example of the geometry of nature, where everything seems to converge somewhere, be it the roads or trees. This painting brings out the feeling of those turns while depicting single point perspective in the same frame.
