"Good vibrations."
The inspiration for this image came from a trip to India. During that time I took 7000 photos, and became fascinated with the colour and energy of the Hindu religion. I took a portrait of the Sadu (Hindu nomadic monk) in the beautiful mountain town of Mandu, and have been looking for an excuse to paint him ever since. The hindu basket seemed appropriate, as in the Hindu religion, with their countless gods and legends, more is more!
