Woman and Light
Oil pastel on paper.
This is perhaps the only painting i have made at one sitting (and within an hour too!). I initially intended it to be a full colour painting, but realized too late that i had just three colours left in the paint box, the ones used in this. This is also special in being one of my first paintings where i did not use the pencil at all, not even for outlines.

the picture is perfect. only one thing missing....the cigarette.
Haan bey! yahi baaki hai...
This is so good.
are you inspired by "lady with the lamp" by ravi varma?
this painting is so life-like. loved it picasso.
Thank you, Feroze bhai and ghetu...hey ghetu, this is not inspired by Ravi Varma's work. i saw this woman in a bengali TV serial, in a scene where she's about to light a lantern. the picturisation was so stunning, i decided to paint it. the face, however,is not that of the actor on TV and i have also done away with the lantern. too many elements!
Hey Tuhin,
This is beautiful.
I particularly love the contrast the bindi and the sindoor have to the picture.
beautiful!!!
