Mural at Bandipur, JLR.

This surely is one of my favrouites… as its my first really *BIG* individual work! I painted this mural in one of the rooms of Bandipur Jungle lodges and resorts! Its about 10 ft x 15 ft. It was an amazing learning experience for me at every step – every thought i thought, every colour i mixed, every stroke i painted and more…
Every moment from waking up early to catch the sunrise… a whole day for painting… various yummy dishes to choose from… really -friendly-cheerful- staff… a chance to go on the jeep safari’s every once in a while… sighting my first leopard and my first sloth bear… amazing sunsets over the Gopalswamy betta… interesting discussions over the campfire… watching wildlife documetaries… walking up and down the path several times… sitting thru the long silent nights… waiting to hear the call of the ‘bubo bubo’ every night… after all that, a peaceful sleep! Whatmore can one ask for !!
