Oh this place! I was confused why this was so dark, but now after reading the description I know why. The mood is very aptly conveyed here. The rain drops and texture adds to the character.
Thanks for sharing sir.

Ganesh when the visit to Simha farms was still fresh this image brought back the cold damp continuous rain. After a few weeks now the feel for me is more objective. For those of you for whom this is childhood memory ( including waiting for school to be declared a holiday due to rain ) this image must evoke a more intense memory and feel. Point is how the space between the viewer and the art is so sacred and effervescent and influenced by so many things .
Thoughts ?

Yes, Malnad.

Raj, I think that personal connect between the so called work of art and the (so called) artist denies the universal appeal to what is portrayed. That brings us to the boring debate on what is art!
