Heart in Mouth
Ever tried white water rafting ? That too in the Nile! Let me assure you it is a fantastic experience. The most exciting part is when you hit the rapids. Exciting - of the 'Heart in Mouth' kind!!! At this point the raft is mostly out of control. You are hoping like hell that it does not overturn. To tell you frankly it is a relief when the rapid ends. This pic was clicked by the life guard who was ahead of us and attracted my attention. To tell you frankly again, through-out the painting process this one was mostly out of control with my heart in my mouth. I tried every trick in the trade- sponging, masking, plastic wrap, splashing, spattering...to capture the white waters in action. When I finished, it was actually a big relief. But believe me both the rafting and the painting were fun!

ReplyDeleteMy knowledge of water rafting is confined to what I have watched in a James Bond movie :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, the experience is almost caught here with a sense of movement with in the colors. But could have been better, knowing your expertise. Did you try with sprinkling sand on wet paint? A deceptive but easy trick !
