INTO THE FOG…. my Home In Himalayan Foothills (Painting #28 by Neha Bisht / Journal “Yesterday Once More”)ThursdayGreen
The landscapes I paint are not simply landscapes. They are stories of my life. My journeys. Places I have experienced in reality and in my desires. Places I have seen and places I want to see.
My paintings are my dreams, my longings and the influences in my life.
It is virtually impossible for me to just paint a picture of a physical surrounding, no matter how beautiful it may be.
A friend was recently viewing my artwork and remarked, “ Your artworks are like a journey of your life. The changes and the influences are so evident”. I guess that is true. :)
This painting is of my home, Lansdowne, in the Himalayan Foothills.
Lansdowne was established as an Army Cantonment by the Britishers. Indian Army has maintained its aura and architecture beautifully. The legacy and history of Lansdowne is unique. Some day I will write about it. :)
Work keeps us in the city mainly. I miss Lansdowne. Hence I painted this landscape in memory of a place I love.
This is a trekking path in Lansdowne, that passes through the oak forest. It is a beautiful trekking path with greenery and a view of the grand snow capped Himalayan mountains (on a clear sunny day). This path is also a leopard trail. :)
I have often walked this path with my babies. It is a very special place for me.
The receding monsoons in the Himalayan foothills is a magical time when fog & mist float around like celestial visitors all the time. It will be sunny and clear one moment. And then suddenly a cloud of fog will descend and hide everything….
INTO THE FOG ….
Oil on Canvas/Genre — lyrical landscape/ Style — Realism
The earth is clothed in green green grass.
Sunlight plays hide and seek through the gossamer fog.
I have walked this path many times.
Many times seen the same trees and the same satin grass.
Yet, each time I found it new….
