Machu Picchu on location painting.

Friday 11th April arrived at Aguass Calientes (Hot Springs) a small remote jungle village at the foot of Machu Picchu. As you look up into the mountains you wonder how anyone could possibly climb these monoliths let alone build a city up there.
We caught a local bus up to the mountain citadel of Machu Picchu, very steep incline not for those with a sense of impending doom.
The lost city is one of the most renowned examples of Inca architecture surrounded by lush cloud forest only recently discovered in 1911 by the American explorer Hiram Bingham.
Unfortunately we had travelled up too fast and I was suffering from altitude sickness, it was all I could do to sit down on a inca protruding rock and record the view with this quick sketch before I descended back to the village and fell into a stuper for the next 48hours as my body tried to acclimatize.
Pencil, acrylic on board, 6x8inches.

On site painting of Ranthambore national park enclosure at Tiger Island isle of wight zoo

22nd april 2008, Sporodic bright sun and showers, I had hoped the showers would hold off but every now and then I had to take cover against a fence with all my paints and painting board.
apart from that it was an enjoyable afternoon of painting, this enclosure I painted from a picnic bench.
Acrylic on wood board, approx 42x 26 inches a large painting but I wanted to get the feel of the size and complexity of the enclosure and a small canvas I felt just would have not done it justice.
