The Shepherd

Oil on Canvas (30" x 30")

AND NOW ...from the mist to some warm weather ...
This is one of my personal favorites.This was my entry for the 'All India Art Contest 2008' held at Nagpur.It was selected for the finals and was put up for display along with other finalists' works.This was the first time I had participated in an art contest and though it didn't win, I was happy that my painting was chosen among so many entries!
