Commission work travels safely to New Jersey, USA, with client's reaction saying "it's more beautiful than I imagined it!!"
... & that just feels so wonderful.. what more would anyone want than client's satisfaction!
So this is a painting of...
the Mobo's Hotel, Pune, India
... in it's past glory.
Watercolours on Fabriano Watercolour Paper...
300gsm, Rough Texture
30" x 22"
The client saw my work on the net & wanted a larger piece of the original work done by me which was done as per its present dilapidated state but wanted to gift it to her grandparents as remembrance for having spent their younger days in this very place decades ago. So I suggested we try to bring back its original look & glory but no photographs of its original state were available neither personally nor on the net. So had to put 2 & 2 together from whatever available current pics in its same curent dilapidated & highly encroached state & my knowledge from working in the Architecture/Interior Design industry.
And the result was highly appreciated by the client. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.
Reference photograph...
