While I Was Away...

On my last visit to India I stayed in the Ellaa Suites Hotel in Hyderabad. During my stay the hotel hosted the Hyderabadi Food Festival. There were all kinds of food dishes representing many food preparations from all over India and especially from Hyderabad. One of the features were Hookah pipes with a variety of herbal fruits. The pipes were a variety of shapes and colors.
Some very interesting sketch material.

Now, where was I?

My last post was all too long ago. I have been whirling about in a daze it seems. Between work and taking care of two houses 100 miles apart, I have not taken time to post any new sketches.

Since my last posting of images, back in May I have been to India twice and to New Mexico again. My stays in India were mostly work and little play, but I did manage a couple of sketches.

My trips took me to Hyderabad, in the southern part of India. Hyderabad is known for a lot of things but the one that most people notice first off is the rocks. Yes, rocks. There are these very unusual rock formations all over the place. Most of them look as if they are man made. I noticed one formation not far from the hotel I stayed in and took time to sketch it.
