There is something fascinating about boats, especially the country ones we have in India.... of so many varieties as well! The combination of the water and the boat, the stillness and calm of the moment, filled me with a feeling of wanting to capture the moment....so here it is....

This is a gorgeous painting Brinda, you have captured the reflections so well too. Good for you booking a gallery space and such a grand idea to share with a friend, that's very encouraging for you both. Hope we get to see some of your work during the coming months.
ReplyDeleteThat's exciting about your first exhibition. This painting is lovely!!! Nice lights and darkss and your figures came out good. I like the depth in this too. Boating is such a great subject.
