DAY 10

February 6, 2025

This art fair is certainly dictated the scheduling of this India trip. We have attended a couple of other times and always find it an excellent opportunity to find new artists and see new work by artist we already know. We were not disappointed.

Of course Birgid knows many of the artists and galleries so we focus on those first. We spot a bronze eagle’s wing laying on a galleries floor. It is stunning. This is the first of an addition of three created with the lost wax method in the artist’s studio. “Garuda, the silent flight, by Delhi based artist Deepak Kumar is a ten foot bronze wing of an eagle. The pink vase was designed by Rooshad Shroof. It wall look fabulous with Karen’s flowers. We added both to our collection.

Traffic coming home was every bit as bad as we have seen anywhere. At one point we counted ten lanes of traffic merging together, honking and jostling for position. We have not seen any accidents. I assume this is normal operations for all. One strange thing I have noticed, if traffic is light they tend to drive on one of lane lines rather than in the lane – probably allows one to move to either lane quickly.

Today in Granddaughter Summers 28th birthday. Happy Birthday my Dear! We will give her a call late this evening which is morning in the US on February 6.
