This was painted in pre-covid times, at least as far as we in India, and most of the world were concerned. But it was a different story in Wuhan, China where the virus was already rampant, yet un-acknowledged by the Chinese government,
Blissfully unaware of what the future held, my wife, two of her friends, and my cousin & her family were holidaying in Rajasthan. My cousin shared this photo with me and using it as a reference I painted this scene even as they were still on their travels.
Since then the world and our lives have changed so dramatically. Sometimes the carefree life that we had led prior to this pandemic seems to have been in a dream, and that too in a distant past.
But, on the eve of a new year, let us all hope that soon these very rough times will be behind us, and we will look back on 2020 and 2021 and think of these two years as only a part of a very unpleasant dream.
I wish all of you A Very Happy 2022 and hope that for each of you the coming year is full of joy and good health.
