Trees

( Acrylic on Canvas)


 
The painting is just  an immediate expression of my mind after returning from the hills. While driving to Fagu near Kufri, a small village with a population of 130, there I saw trees with mind boggling colours....bright purples, snow whites, reds and yellows etc. It was a visual treat, a onslaught on the senses that were numbed by the colours of our man made urban landscape. The names of those trees hardly matter( though I remember the days when I used to do well in Landscape design ), but what mattered was finding such brightness, such vividness in the colour pallet. I have hardly done any justice to the visuals that I have seen, but have been able to at least take out some of my excitement on to the canvas.
