Uma Kelkar
"San Jose´ Mineta" An Urban Watercolor Painting of San Jose CA Airport

2022

About the Item

"San José Mineta" is a watercolor painting by San Jose based artist, Uma Kelkar. This painting was captured during Uma’s commute to work on Highway 87 near the airport. Just as she was approaching, she happened to look out of her window and caught a glimpse of this scene. Inspired by the beauty of the area she began conducting experiments where she would paint from memory, she playfully refers to this trick as retina burn. This painting comes with a custom contemporary white wood frame, archival mat, and low-glare museum glass. Artwork Dimensions: 29 3/4"w x 22 1/4"h Outer Frame Dimensions: 36 3/8"w x 28 7/8h About the Artist: Uma is an engineer-artist who has made the Bay Area home since 1999.
