 Another commission, crafted for one of our dear family friend, the demand for a folk based and colorful painting was enough to take my mind to the Santhals, their simple lifestyle, the Palash flower, red soil and mostly white attire, everything so color coordinated. To add to it , the nine figures that I drew resonated so well with me and my eight friends that everyone were thrilled watching the finished picture.

Commissions during Covid

 A very late post though...all these lotuses were commissioned by one of my acquaintance. Her requirement was simple, each lotus must be unique in colour and shape. It was peak Covid, the second wave and I had plenty of time as I was quarantined, painting was the only way of keeping my mind  refreshed.
