Open Air

A still pond enters from the lower left, holding sky and a band of green. Beyond it a meadow opens, and a low roof sits among trees at the far edge. On the right, a tall tree rises with yellow at its crown and a reddish trunk. The sky is mostly pale, with blue breaking through grey cloud.

Painted from memory during a live workshop at Raksha charitable institution for kids, it was exhibited at David Hall, Kochi. The sky is soft and wet. The foliage is built from small, broken touches, with flecks of bare paper left as white flowers and a little orange in the foreground. Greens run from yellow to grey-blue. It suits a quiet wall that needs open air.
