On a good day.2x4 feet

Acrylic on Canvas.

 

Bharat and Malika wanted a painting for their house. They wanted colour. Bharat is a water specialist which means he studies rivers and water issues in India. Malika travels to and fro to many rural parts of India doing behavior studies and studying development among other things. We agreed on a landscape.

I collated images from memory of mountains and my favourite landscapes from my school in Kodaikanal, the view from Manali, a friend's farm in Assam, the mist in Arunachal Pradesh & Shillong, the mountain silhouettes in Kohima and the dramatic light in Italy - all served to form this one scene. Bharat saw the sketch and could see Manipur in it and a couple fishing were added. There are various stories in this and many more can be interpreted. 

This is my first acrylic commission and I had great fun making it.
