The Jungle's Pride
This is one my favourites and also one of my most time consuming paintings. Such detailed paintings not only give me a sense of satisfaction but also increase my level of patience and concentration.

Yet another dream spot where my thoughts wander. Such places remind me of Henry Davies' lines: "What is this life if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare." How much would I love to stop at some place like this and observe every ripple in the water, every chirp of the bird, and record the stillness of the place in my mind and carry it along till the end of time...
