Monsoon Melody by Padmaja

water color sized 12'' by 14''
In Mumbai, it is pouring everyday and I enjoy the sound of the rain, in spite of the several hassles with the daily activities. During rainy season, a dancing peacock is a delight to watch. The joy that the rain brings extends to humans as well. The children in our apartment complex dance in the rain to their hearts' content with not a care in the world and not worrying about getting sick! Looking at them from my balcony, I was inspired. I took reference from a news paper photo and altered it to my choice. Some adults can let go of themselves and dance in the rain to express the feeling of joy that the rain brings. This is such a moment!
