A black bicycle leans against a blue wall at the edge of an empty lane. Across the way, a pointed arch frames a green wooden door. Sun lies over the packed earth in a wide, warm band. The wall on the right holds the light in patches and deepens to ultramarine where it turns to shade. A cable runs down the plaster. One small window glows amber. Nothing moves.

The walls are built from layered washes, granulating where pigment settled into the cotton paper. Edges soften in the worn plaster and sharpen on the bicycle frame, spokes and door. The palette is narrow: blues, a single green, earth browns on the ground. Painted with Camlin and Daniel Smith watercolours. In a room, it brings a cool stillness and a place for the eye to rest.

Exhibited at David Hall, Kochi in 2022, Kerala Lalithakala Academy, Calicut in 2026.
