In December 2018, with the theme of food, I did a series of watercolours, copying portions of still life paintings by renowned artists. The originals were from the 17th century to the present.
My life-long love of making art led me initially to consider a career in architecture, but my love of mathematics led me to become a structural engineer. At a time before computer assisted drawing (CAD), both disciplines required a huge amount of freehand and mechanical drawing. After a quarter of a century of great fun as a structural engineer, I decided to pursue painting full time. (I also list in this blog published books of translations of modern Urdu poetry.)
Best "advent calendar" ever!
