I love the beautiful mountains and admire the breathtaking scenery of the nature that shows off varying stunning colors in each of the four seasons.
The mountains are of the crispy clear Prussian blue, and each morning has different hue of dewiness. Each element of the mother nature offers various palette of harmonious color combination.
I am deeply in love with it all.
It is my sincere wish to incessantly capture the beauty of the nature in my eyes and heart through my brushstrokes on canvas.”
