Acrylic on canvas : Original concept and painting
16 in width x 20 in height
Date: June 2010

The musicians is a completely original concept. If you look carefully you will see thick coats of paint, almost oil like. I used a painting knife to create this woody like effect. I initially created the sketch on computer, and then applied the process of simplification which I like to call 'color abstraction'. By the way, the instrument in the painting is called a 'sitar'

Here is the cleaned up version after methodically following 'color abstraction'
