The world weather is changing. Here too the weather cycle seems to have shifted. Summer is hotter and is extended now. Monsoons have not hit India in time this year. Here is a painting of a scene of summer in India.
It is done from a photo. Almost undiluted colour was used to get the darks. This is the first painting where I have used the darks so dark. Going against the rules again I also used some ivory black with blue for the darks.

Hello Prabal, I think your paintings are wonderful.This one is exceptionally good, as it deals with shadows quite effeciently.Keep up the good work.You can join me on my 'Arti's art: Life as I see it" blog..it will get more people look at your work ...
I think your fearless approach to darks is paying off - this is a nice and strong composition, which conveys the heat of a summer day very well. You can achieve even richer darks if you mix in some warm colors (quinacridone red, sepia) and let them mingle on the paper. Only an idea ... this succeeds very well.
