Plein air painting also offers me a chance to immerse myself in the vibrant pulse of city life or the serene tranquility of the countryside, to engage in friendly exchanges with passersby, and if I am lucky, to bask in the gentle caress of sunlight upon my face - all of which adds to my work. Having experienced the quiet vistas of southern India and the majestic landscapes of Alberta, Canada, I am now eagerly delving into the timeless architecture, quaint homes, graceful bridges, and inviting parks of Ottawa.
