Subhashish bought a dupatta from the ArtbyAarohi label collection (@studio.artbyaarohi) a few years ago. And the gem that he is, he tagged me on that post/story. That was my introduction to him. I was very intrigued by how he had styled my dupatta so I stalked his feed and loved what I saw. And that is where I came across the reference for this painting. Saved it then to work on later.
I met him yesterday to hand over the painting to him in person over a cup of coffee and almond cake that he invited me for. I have to say – he’s a wonderful man 🙂 And I hope to spend more time getting to know him. And of course, his style quotient is off the charts.
Note – Over the years I have saved pictures of friends and their families on Facebook or Instagram as a possible reference. A few weeks ago I decided to dive into that folder and start. I put out a post on FB letting everyone know what I planned to do. I have completed quite a few but am still waiting for the people in question to see the finished painting and then give permission to share them.
