Folk Art

I once posted an entry saying that I did a bedroom makeover for a friend in exchange for 2 paintings. Well, being the procrastinator I'm well known for, I finally had them framed and got them hung at their designated wall.

These are actually folk art from the state of Bihar, India. They are very different from the typical art work you see for India. These are painted with natural dye and the paper is hand pressed.


Dancing women and cows. I blew up the picture for the details. They are actually very small.


Elephants in green. This is my favorite piece. I had it framed with an olive green padding and light cherry frame.



I've another bigger piece which will be going to my trusted framer soon.
