I got the inspiration for this painting from a sepia photograph in one of the magazines dedicated to the natives of Gujarat. The composition inspired me to bring it to life with vibrant colours. What pulled me the most in the composition was the face of the little boy hidden behind his tiny hand. The mystery of his hidden face perfectly adds to the innocence and beauty of this painting. I just knew I had to paint it and re-tell their story as seen through my eyes.
This is how I feel about this painting. I would love to know what you'll think about it. Its always interesting to get a different perspective.
