A Touch of Warmth

A Touch of Warmth, 8 by 10 inches, oil
Warmth is always from the heart, it can seldom be faked. Just like the light from the sun. When you experience it from a stranger, it does wonders to one's soul and I recently experienced it.
Relocated to Oman just yesterday, guess what, all my oil paints were detected by the scanner and thrown out!

  3. Bright and reflecting light so beautiful! I love the hints of violets in the shadows on the rocks in the foreground. What's with throwing oil paints away? Are their scanners not good enough to detect oil paint from threatening materials? Seems a little over the top. I'm sorry. An expensive price to pay while relocating, Padmaja.

  4. The colors in this one are very beautiful and what a great composition.
    May your move to Oman be a happy and productive time for you, dear Padmaja.
    Thats a bummer about the paints - they didn't give you the opportunity to mail them? It happened to me once and I had time to find a way to mail them. I have carried the same empty box to the airport ever since. Just saying in case it could help someone.

  9. The colours are as usual awesome. Sorry about your paints. My watercolors also come up in the scanner. At times have a tough time convincing the airline staff that they are harmless waters.

  10. Oh no! why would they throw out your paints? will you be in Oman long?
    I can feel the waters splashing around and the warmth. I love your horizon line. Hope you can get some new paints and continue to paint in Oman.
