Flower Girl

When I came across this picture on the page of a photo-journalist, I knew I had to paint it. I did this on an old canvas that had another painting that I wasn't too happy about, so the painting has some interesting textures.
The subject inspired a conversation with friends about beautiful places like Haridwar and Hrishikesh, on the foothills of the Himalayas. Both these places bring back memories from a very long time ago, for me.
