An indian wedding and an oil painting..

We attended a highly elaborate and distinctly colorful Indian wedding of one of Viral's friend/distant cousin this weekend. The wedding and the pre-functions spanned over 3 days. People were dressed in the most exotic outfits, ranging from traditional saris to chaniya-cholis to more modernist indo-western outfits. The amazing medley of colors has inspired my next oil painting. I am using a palette of warm colors consisting of red, yellows and oranges, with designs inspired from a few lace and batik fabrics I got from India. I am experimenting with a new design theme so am a little anxious to see how it turns out. Hopefully I will have a good picture to post in a few weeks. I also ordered the first 2 in the series of Larry Gonick's History of the Universe series on Amazon today. I can hardly wait for those to arrive.
