Birds of the Cauveri

The series 'Birds of the Cauveri'  was inspired in the late seventies as the result of some years spent in the vicinity of the Cauveri, close to the Ranganthitu Bird sanctuary with close access to this site for inspiration to include bird life in my drawings and paintings. And, gradually, abstraction has reduced these forms to where less is more - a reduction to its essential elements that construct it to guide it to a zen-like character. The series has been worked only upon paper in coloured inks, Chinese and Japanese watercolour sticks and crayons.
