Memories of a childhood VIII
“In the life of everyone there is a limited number of experiences which are not written upon the memory, but stamped there with a die; and in the long years after, they can be called up in detail, and every emotion that was stirred by them can be lived through anew.”  ― JW Johnson, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man

The Harmony of Season's II
The work was inspired one lazy  afternoon in the  spring of Northern India. The flowering Mango tree outside the window was magical and captivating bringing the promise of the fruit, a food of the Gods . In such testing times, the Artist considers this work as  a talisman for  good news coming, a sign that things will go well in  life, and that one remain satisfied and happy. It also signifies the yearning for the joy of sheer freedom as depicted by the parrot in flight into the cool Indian summer night. Almost  mystical the tree is considered to be the symbol of love, wealth, fertility and even immortality. So great is the belief of the tree being auspicious that the leaves of Mango trees are used in Hindu wedding ceremonies in order to ensure a fertile union. The fruit of the tree appearing in a dream is believed, by some, to signify the arrival of  long awaited good news.
