Shore Temple, Mamallapuram, near Chennai(Madras)

8 X 10
Acrylic on Canvas

Please check out my earlier treatment of the same subject and let me know which one you prefer and why. Thank you.

Mahabalipuram

This is a small (11X14) acrylic on paper done in 2001. If I painted this today it would look very different - not only because the tsunami has forced some changes to the landscaping in the area adjacent to the temple, but because I think there are some shortcomings (for instance, in use of colour) in the painting that I would probably try to overcome. It would be great if you could comment on what could be done differently to improve the painting. Awaiting your feedback.

(I am sorry that this is the best photograph I can come up with for now. Light reflected from the glass behind which the painting is is a distraction.)
