Acrylics that remind of India

So the lazy painter is back to update with some old work that feels new!

Spring is here and I have been daydreaming about my past vacations in India and could not resist posting these two very old acrylics that I had painted almost 5 years ago after a visit to Rajasthan

They depict a woman in a rural setting and also highlight the colors worn in that region. Being a desert area the people tend to prefer deep bright colors in clothing to add a bit of color to their lives in an otherwise barren landscape

It is this region that is also famous for its vegetable dyes and block printing and tie dyeing fabrics in bright colors. The tie-dyeing process has a specific name called 'Bandhini"
