Dianthus Vincifera

10x10"

Oil on canvas

Bought these carnations from my regula florist, who is never very excited to see me. I took up a good amount of his time mixing and matching and begging him to give me extra flowers, only to buy a small bunch.
Once I set up the ensemble, my maid suggested that I put the wine bottle alongside, which was in the grocery I had brought in from the same shopping trip as the flowers. So here it is, wine and flowers. What more can a woman want.

A lone woman who dares to walk the streets alone, who is ready to take on the world on her own! Boldness is a virtue that only a few possess! What lies round the corner? What awaits in the next alley? Whatever it may be, she is ready to tackle it!

Tuberose ( Rajanigandha) is one of my favourite flowers and a few stalks regularly adorn my living room. This painting is inspired by a few white lilies that I bought along with my regular Rajanigandhas. Inspite of my penchant for dark colours, I have always chosen these white flowers for my living room, both for their fragrance and purity. The connection goes back to my younger days. After my father suddenly passed away, my Mom used to adorn his portrait with a bunch of these flowers and they became a part of our living room decor. Another connection is with the song Rajanigandha from the movie of the same name, which I sang right through my childhood and am still singing. After many years, I have fallen into the same habit of putting a few stalks in my living room and delighting in their familiar fragrance. All is well, except for the price of these flowers, which is quite steep! 

I have to put a few finishing touches, once the painting dries a little.
