Watercolors : Colorful Asia

Turban man in Pakistan

-

Geko, nepali donkey

Brave donkeys go and come on the rocky paths. Often hardly loaded and always cheerfully adorned, they bring a touch of lively colors in these entrenched hamlets.

Sheikh Lotfollah's Mosquee

Ispahan - Iran

In a very colourfull country, warmth, feelings, this marvel blue and gold hold us one s breath. It s wonderful, under his thousand earthenware fragments dome, forming a mosaic which melt into the sky. Inside is as rich in refinement.

The Taj mahal Mausolee

Agra - India

Indian Woman

Inspired from a Berenice's photo

My first watercolour portrait. Only warm colors for this beautifull woman who inspired me.

Pakistani Baker

Sukkur - Pakistan

Bread, there as in France, talls with an all ritual. But, it s in front of everybody, at the doorstep, that the baker kneads, shapes, cooks... Everyday, at the daybreak s light, he makes her flat breads, which, depending on the provinces, can take different names : pide, nan, or another word for flat bread. These are cooked directly on the clay oven s side, which is digged on the floor. We stayed a moment, inflamed with this hand game bustling around the fire.

Cherating - Malaysia

Coolness under palm trees. The weather was stormy, that evening, and the light seemed to pierce the cloudy layer. The beach is just behind.

A fishing boat on the beach

Goa - India

Even sweeter, here, the atmosphere rock us during the nap time. We take it easy with pastel colors transporter towards the light which call us at the skyline.

Swayambunath Bouddha Temple

Katmandu - Nepal

In a really different style, here, that's not precious stones, neither architectural details, which will stay in our mind. It's a great place. Buddhist monks of every age are coming and going inside these mythical site's ways. there is an atmosphere you will remember for all your life. We climb to reach it many step, with the compagny of a lot of hungry macaques.

Tea plantations

Java Island - Indonesia

De vastes etendues verdoyantes dans ses iles perdues dans l Ocean Indien. Envie de legerete, et de grand air, en en parcourant les chemins chaotiques.

Fishing boat

Java Island - Indonesia

Water atmosphere. Boat is ready to varen, it's wainting for its capitan. Le sea is quiet, we are listening the silence. For that, I choosed tonic colors, to break it softly.

Goa Landscape

India

At the center of a generous and verdant nature, an aquatic lanscape with a range of cold shades in order to refresh us under this climate sometimes stifling.

Shiraz by night

Iran

Une balade au clair de lune nous conduisit ce soir la sur les hauteurs surplombant la ville de Shiraz. Nous y goutames, en plus des volutes de Narguiles environnantes, cette superbe vue au gout de contes persans.

A lost temple on Sibi road

Pakistan

Au beau milieu de nulle part, en plein desert, comme c est souvent le cas dans ces lointaines contrees, se dresse ce temple qui semble abandonne. Nous n avons fait que passer, nous aussi, nous contentons de le graver sur notre pellicule.

A sacred cow

Goa - India

No trains to look at for. Here, only the visitor distract this nice ruminant, which doesn't drop even so its blade of grass.

Trekking in Annapurna

Nepal

An happy recollection of a walk for the top. Six days into the wild high moutain, with rucksacks, crossing rhododendron s forest or suspension bridge, eating tibetan breads with honey or oignon, and falling a sleep like a bear in wood huts with an only candle. A lot of light, and the restful peace of virgin spaces.

A nomadic musician

Goa - India

This one seems coming from nowhere. He goes where the wind decides for him, her music for only friend.
