Sumer Aggarwal - Trees on the Lakeside in Morning - Reutlinger Community - acrylic on paper 15x11Description
“I was born in my grandparents’ village of Bilaspur, India, one of five children. My father was an elementary school teacher who was transferred every 2-3 years; so, we all moved village to village that were 10-20 miles apart. My High School was in the District Headquarters of Ambala City, followed by College Studies and Engineering College in Agra; I then became a professor at the Indian Institute of Technology. In 1970, my wife and 3 children and I moved to the USA. I progressed from Lecturer to Professor during 15 years at Penn State. Then, I was a Dean and Professor at University of MA.
Painting is an interesting engagement! This California lake is surrounded by people - walking, chatting, relaxing and picnicking. I am beginning to find my own way of working now: I choose a beautiful photo of the earth and focus on painting the large shapes and overall design, sometimes adding my own details.”
