Sharing another painting  from Rural India series. This is a scene of a village in Howrah district ,West Bengal. I always love to paint Indian villages. Here you can see village dwellers are busy with their household activities. The presence of strong light made the painting more vibrant.

Doing lots of still life painting these days. Spending more time in my studio these days. The scorching heat outside preventing me to do open air works. So for next two months I will confine myself in the studio for the hot summer. Have a plan to do lots of still life works each day.

This is one of my favourite composition. I always love to visit  Indian village areas. People   with different religions live here peacefully and amidst sweet amity. Often we can get the breathtaking view of the local river running by the side of the village. It looks nice from a distance. 

During various festivals the villagers enjoys within themselves. Different cultural functions are held throughout the year. Village fair is also an important recreation in the life of villagers. I have a dormant desire in the core of my heart to paint more from the life of  village people.
