Jai Maa Baglamukhi! It's the eighth day of Navratri, honoring Maa Shakti in the form of Baglamukhi. The inspiration for this painting came to me early this year, I was visualizing a goddess painting with the warm colors of yellows and reds, and learned that goddess Baglamukhi is associated with some of these colors and it felt right and painting this felt very grounding. I started looking at more Indian Rajput style paintings and practicing drawing in that style, and I love all the color in many of those artworks and the way the figures are drawn, it's been very inspiring. The color reminds me of Fauvist paintings, I wonder if Rajput painting had an influence on any of them? This is the first painting in an ongoing series of similar paintings.
Painting is oil on canvas.
