I like the contrasts in this painting...the old and the new. It makes for a good painting...the lights and the darks, the big and the little, the soft and the hard edges! You have it all. Having never been to India, I found this a fasinating painting with lots of painting knowledge AND a geography lesson, too. Thank You!!
The painting is an excellent example of negative painting. Love the way the (old age) bullocks stand out against the (new age)development work. Great constrasts...both is painting and in the message!
I am a full time painter
I paint what I see.
It is not the subject but the shapes, tones, color and there relation along with the play of light that crates a sensation.
I paint because I wish to respond and communicate this sensation.
The selection of shapes and tones rendered in realistic style with washes and brushstrokes is my painting. The selection is my vision and creates a body for the sensation felt.
If the viewer responds by saying “wow”, I believe he responds to that “abstract quality”,that”visual sensation” which I felt. This is probably my best reward and fulfillment than any long essay written by a critique

You have captured the classic scene so well! I love the colors and composition!
It is breathtaking. The sun is so intensive. And the scene is so alive. I was looking into details for long, thinking "how he does it???" :-)
