This is another painting of the Tughlaqabad fort in New Delhi, that I visited during my trip to India this summer. I have been working on larger paintings since I returned. Another one of this series is almost complete,  I should be uploading it in a couple of days.

Ruins of Tughlaqabad - New Delhi

Pastel on La Carte paper 16" X 20" 

I was in India last month, perhaps my most memorable experience was visiting the  Tughlaqabad fort. The fort was built in 1300's by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, now in ruins. It is one of the lesser know tourist places in Delhi, but the view was breathtaking! I took lots of pictures and hope to make quite a few paintings from them. I particularly like archways and battlements, light passing through it adds interest to the composition, so picked this one to start with.
