My paintings at Art & Vielfalt exhibition

The Art & Vielfalt- wildlife art exhibition is now on at Magdeburg natural history museum, Germany. Five of my paintings are on display there and glad being selected among other great artists.

Mirror- Wintering Little Stint

Sharing one out of the recent set of paintings I did towards the end of last year. The new job and responsibility at the Embassy of Japan, hampered my painting habit :(. But adapting to come back to week end paintings at the moment. Hope I can recover soon.
This painting encouraged by the great enthusiasm on waders, made itself a success, as I believe. Hope you all enjoy.
