About a year ago my wife, daughter and I went on an art holiday to Yelagiri, a nearby hill resort. We were there for a day and a half and I managed two paintings and two pen and ink sketches during that time. This is the first of them, done on the spot. I was looking forward to painting on location but discovered that I had left my watercolour stuff - paints and brushes - at home in Chennai. Fortunately I had some watercolour pencils in my art bag. I used them and later borrowed my wife's paintbox and brushes to finish up.
