Day-3 of Painting Challenge on Facebook

Another #painting based on an illustration by #Telugu Artist "Uttam Kumar" in Telugu weekly magazine #Andhrabhoomi. This is one of many I did in just #BlackAndWhite.

Most of my paintings that I did during my engineering college days at #VRSECnever went out of my hostel room. But, this is the only painting that got onto the "Literary Club News Board" and was displayed there for a week or so. One of my batch mates and a good friend of mine, Kiran Kakarlamudi made this happen with a caption of the following lines taken from a song:

"నీ నును పైటను తాకిన చాలు
గాలికి గిలిగింత కలుగునులే

నీ కనుచూపే సోకిన చాలు
సూర్యుడు వెన్నెల కాయునులే

నీ పాదాలూ తాకిన చాలు
శిలలైనా విరబూయాలిలే...."

Even as on today, if I happen to listen that Telugu song, this painting comes in and remains in the background.
