Today was a full day for us! We had a great breakfast that kept us full for the morning rush. We got into the car and started our adventure. Christinas mother in law, Sumita took us on a hunt for a very small table for next to the chair in Neels room. We started down a long row of shops and open air markets. Not finding what we wanted, after going to several shops, Sumita took us to a magical place......
Shamar Farm is behind a gate with guards. What is it......amazing!
This once working farm is now a venue for weddings and large events. What most people don't realize is there is a portion of the farm that is a resting place for varying amounts of antiques and modern furniture . This place has some the the most beautiful British Colonial furniture I have ever seen. The wonderful thing is, the craftsman here can replicate and or refinish virtually any piece of furniture in the place. They not only have furniture, but they have awesome amount of architectural pieces from old buildings in India. I have so many ideas for a new series of architectural art, done in sepia on my traditional white backgrounds. My month in India has been an inspirational, beautiful, sometimes overwhelming experience of Family, friends, food, and ART!
P.S. check out my facebook page for photos from our trip to the farm!

ReplyDeleteDid you find a table at the farm?
ReplyDeleteThe Blue Heron is one of my favorites! We have one at our property in the country where we plan to build and he’s gorgeous and so graceful.
