Little Indian Girl - an oil painting
Pretty faces pretty smiles. The expression of this little Indian girl was so precious, I had to try to capture it.
Dream Girl by Carl Sandburg
YOU will come one day in a waver of love,
Tender as dew, impetuous as rain,
The tan of the sun will be on your skin,
The purr of the breeze in your murmuring speech,
You will pose with a hill-flower grace.
You will come, with your slim, expressive arms,
A poise of the head no sculptor has caught
And nuances spoken with shoulder and neck,
Your face in a pass-and-repass of moods
As many as skies in delicate change
Of cloud and blue and flimmering sun.
Yet,
You may not come, O girl of a dream,
We may but pass as the world goes by
And take from a look of eyes into eyes,
A film of hope and a memoried day.

Thank you @joelsegovia; I would say what I found in India is a closer relationship with our own nature. People seem to live less in abstractions. And there is a profound sense of mystery in the old temples with their beautiful sculptures and paintings. For a painter, the women in their saris are a constant source of inspiration.
I love how your work has both a tech feel as well as an antiquity feel to me. I sometimes feel that sort of graphic quality with the colour blocks and then in the same vein feel that quilt aspect of a wonderful old tapestry or a quilt made by hand.
See, you know how to make your 'children' behave and sing with a unified voice :)
Thank you. Yes I love the preciousness of classic oil painting technique and was lucky to be taught it by an excellent teacher. But my compositions are anything but classical. You are seeing the result after the battle. I have been working on the same small painting for months to pull it together.
Beautiful, Kathleen. You captured her expression, not just with her smile but I can feel that her whole face is joyful and radiant with happiness.
Thank you. She was such a cutie!
