I have been struck by the painting/drawing bug lately. The sudden surge in my interest in it is directly proportional to how bored I am in life right now. Anyways, this time, I tried by hand at a Warli painting. This is actually a form of tribal art that originated in Maharashtra and Gujarat. I had once seen a woman on tv do it and I found it fascinating that you could depict so much through simple geometrical figures. It is basic, simple and clean art. In this particular painting, I have tried to depict a scene from a village. I loved it so much on paper that I even decided to transfer it on to one of my sister's tea cups. :)
