"Lyrical", an abstract by Manisha Vedpathak

 Came across this painting while I was going through my old 
sold paintings. Felt inspired to do something in that style again
 and came up with this painting. May do some more in this 
style with different color combination.
Here is the old one ,followed by  the new one...

"Gavlan....a lady fetching water"....Acrylic painting by Manisha Vedpathak

"Gavlan...a lady fetching water"
Acrylic on canvas,35"x35"
 
I totally enjoyed this painting. Though it was rather
difficult for me to have control on my palette. As you
all must have noticed I always create colorful paintings.
Even if I decide not to add too many colors ,I always
end up in a colorful painting . May be my paintings reflect
my life which is colorful. Perhaps because of this I chose
these water fetchers from India as my subject. Their
Ghagra and chunri are always  so colorful . But here I tried
 to use mainly shades of orange to paint them or you can say
 that was my intention but as I am accustomed to using many colors,
 little black, white and green just crept in. Gavlan is a Marathi word
for lady fetching water.
 
 Here is a quote about 0range color that I read sometime back.....
 
“[Orange] is one of God's favorite colors--- He stuck it right there
 between red and yellow as the second color in the rainbow.
  He decorates entire forests with shades of orange every autumn.
It shows up in sunrises at the start of the day, sunsets at the
 end of the day, and in the glow of the moon at the right time of night.”

Hope you all enjoy this painting as much as I do. Stay blessed!

"Melange"....An acrylic painting by Manisha Vedpathak



"Melange"
Acrylic on canvas,35"x35"
Melange is a French word for the mix of different
colors and shapes. This name was suggested by
 a friend on facebook. There are faces ,motifs that
are used in Ghana, the Adinkra symbols which are
very widely used for decoration as well as on textiles,
and also the silhouttes of  human figures in African
style.
