The things you find.



Lately I have been trying my hand at watercolour painting.
Mostly on my bedroom wall, using watercolour pencils
that I picked up in the kids' section of a stationery shop.
This evening I remembered I had a pad of watercolour paper
lying around somewhere. I dug it out, and discovered that I have
already tried my hand at watercolour painting. I'd quite forgotten.
I think it was some time in the early nineties, because this one
must have been done after one of those Indian Fine Arts Society shows.

For those of you unfamiliar with Hindustani classical music, the tanpura
is a stringed instrument that "drones" in the background and provides
a steady beat for the lead musicians.
