A nice change to use opaque colors, isn' it? The composition has come out well. The reflections could have been subtler and a tinge of green could have been added to the water.. just my thoughts :-)

Very nice Prabal! I love the way the directional feel of this painting. And your use of opaque colors is way cool, nice way to mix it up!

Padmaja,
Even I was not happy with the reflections.. But yes using opaque once in a while is a good break.. It gives a lot of freedom and has an inherent expressive nature..

Crystal,
I love the way you always notice the feel of the painting... I am waiting for the boy's portrait to be over..

the reflection have come out really really well !
The white brush-work in the green field seems little disturbing to me.
But overall, it's brilliant.

Treatment of water is very well done,indeed.The perspective is interesting,too.Good one, prabal.

PC,
I tried to suggest some blades of the paddy(light green) and the water seen through the paddy (white). But guess I did not get it right..

Arti,
Thanks for the comment..

Hello Prabal such a complex irrigation system that you have captured. I have just noticed the little shelter in stilts in the background it is not dissimilar to such a shelter I have seen on one of Paulraj's paintings.

Prabal said...

Gold Finch,
Such irrigation systems are common in some parts of India.. And the shelter is actually very common. And it feels great that you got reminded of Paulraj painting by this one..

Liana,
We always keep learning a little about each other's way of life through our paintings.. I just love this fact about artist's blogs. I'll wait for your your second painting on Bali..
