In rural India where life still walks at its own pace kitchen serves as an important social place for women. It is also the place where family gets together for their meals. And hence it is generally a spacious and cosy place unlike the modern kitchens.

This painting was done in quiet a different way than my usual way. It was done in parts. I completed the upper left part first. Then the bottom part and then the upper right part. Those rays of sun made visible by smoke was done in the end. Hope you enjoy this piece.

Takmachik

The place in this painting is Takmachik village in Ladakh. Alleys are always very nice to paint. And this one also had the perfect lighting along with very beautiful houses and those flower vases on the windows.

I'll be on a break for a week and hence will be absent from blogsphere. See you all after a week. Till then enjoy this one.
