acrylic on canvas '30 x '36.
Finally got round to painting the baoli... imagining it still full of water as in Raghu Rai's 1971 photo. Got side tracked by Hariaudh's poem 'Ek Boond' and was also re-reading 'Northern Lights' to R. and there is a touch of Pullman's 'cities from other worlds visible in the Arora' about it.... have paused, not necessarily finished. Colours got a little out of hand but what colour is the real baoli?... pigeon shit, in my experience.
