Gopis of Jodhpur (suite)
A suite of three painting done for my girls, at least for the moment. Based on some Moghul miniatures from the Royal Court of Jodhpur that I had leaned on for inspiration for painting an Indian restaurant that was on the Microsoft campus in Redmond WA. ( … defunct by now, I think)
Working this small certainly gave me a heightened appreciation of how difficult it must have been to produce the originals, which have a delicacy that isn’t reflected in these pieces. Besides the subject matter, I found myself attracted to the color palette that was used in the many originals. This trio only gives a hint of the combinations that are found there.
Each of these is only 12” x 12”.
