Watch Repair




When I was a little girl, one of the things I loved about Woolworth's' was the watchmaker. His stall was in the corner of the store and I would always go over to see what he was doing. It fascinated me to see him at work. I wonder where all the watch repairmen are today? Not at Woolworth's, they closed in 1997.

The First Turn








During a horse race, a jockey wears a colorful jacket and hat. These are called jockey silks or racing colors. Every racehorse owner has a unique pattern for their silks and the owner has to register their colours with a company called 'Weatherbys'. If they're not too bunched up, you can tell where a horse is in a race by looking at the colours and patterns of the silks worn by the jockey. In this painting, I've tried to capture the action of the horses and bright color of the racing silks and helmets.

Going to Work













My fascination with farm equipment intrigued me to do this painting. And I admire the farmer too who works hard in his fields to to enable us to put food on our table. The flags represent his pride in our country.
