Wednesday 25th November 2020Himalayan Prayer Flags
I think ‘Himalayan Prayer Flags’ is one of the best paintings I have ever done, and capturing the fragile, fluttering flags in watercolour took many months. The flags were in Triund, about 10 000 feet up into the Himalayan mountains, close to where I lived. The wind blows the prayers down the valleys and they gradually bleach out and disintegrate.
The couple who own the original watercolour have been living in Geneva, and were kind enough to meet up with me recently so that I could have the painting scanned for prints. I lived in New Zealand when I painted this and didn't have resources to scan for prints.
