DAY-0 A gaping canvas with expectations unlimited.
I do not consider a blank canvas lifeless. Obstensibly it is full of inscrutable realities. It has nothing to show, yet a lot hidden behind the veil of white. It is smirking at the confused state of my mind...it is proud enough to still have a chance to start afresh...it has a palette of possibilities to shape its life...it is stirring my creative engine to take a kick start and numb the loudness of this impostor.....
For an artist, an unpainted surface is like a mirror, all set to reflect him/her on his/her canvas, and suddenly you are exposed before your own eyes. It inspires your inner engineering that constructs something which shall always help you in transporting the impulses of your vexed soul to a peaceful resort. But that inspiration takes lot of efforts to come.....it just don't come so easily..... and i am still waiting.....
DAY 1- The toughest part is to conclude an outline sketch in mind to cover a big area and that consumes most of my time.Till it is finalised the nerves of my mind are strained shadowing all other thoughts with this single flux of what to paint. After a week I guess they made a submission. And I started with something like this. The time of union of night with the dawn has powers to cleanse our minds and soul. It is the time moon bids farewell handing over the empire to a completely contrasted entity despite the fact that every chapter of night shall be over turned. This surreal time is for the generosity, for unity, for chastity. So I chose the hues to exhibit how gently night sublimes into morning and we, the people, start our routine as a mark of acceptance to this beautiful timeless event.........
DAY 2- Once the background is done,we know that at the end it's going to be beautiful.
The next step was to bring rural skyline to bring into life. For that, I painted few kuccha houses, bullock cart,field fences and some trees. I have a blur vision of my village that mostly has rustic walls and courtyards, lots of cows and bulls of which I was extremely scared and fields....all sort of rich , handsome, proud fields...This canvas village came out pretty well as well..
The main character of my final picture was the bull,fully adorned,festive bull as a companion to the village boy who was out in the morning to announce the onset of Durgamahotsava...They are close to each other,connected with an unsaid bond of friendship..

The entire process of painting involves a sea of emotions...anxiety for the uncertain and unseen....fear of mistakes...ecstasy on the riot of colors melting well...pride of being the creator of something which has a public display....
