Ok kiddo.
prolly the best you've done since becoming an American in Lahore--
Quite outstanding.
I would dearly love to meet it face to face.

It may end up back in the States. Trying to figure out the best audience for different pieces is going to be interesting!

Beautiful. It's been really interesting to see how being there has influenced your work. I still see A.R.G. in the canvas, but it's apparent that she's being inspired by something different.

As always, thanks for sharing with the world.

I love that you left the bit with the text pretty much as it was and the small additions of urdu throughout are great. the whole thing has this added element of whimsy with the final additions. and it's whimsical without being too precious, you know. the tone has changed a bit, it seems, but I really, really still love it. particularly the giant sun and the little rain clouds and the blue sort of puddle at the bottom. it never fails to impress me how you can bring order and sense to so many colors and images!

I've given it thought and I think I still want to look into buying this. if you'd prefer to conduct this conversation via e-mail, I'm reachable at rachilita AT hotmail DOT com or preva1rm AT cmich DOT edu. I'm definitely in love.

Thank you! You've followed the piece so closely, I'm glad it didn't lose all its charm for you with the last layer of imagery. Lately I've been working from abstract -------> specific narrative imagery, which means less room for other people to make their own meanings as mine emerges more clearly.

Thank you... new colors for me! Reds look amazing lately, probably because they bloom when wearing sunglasses? Windows here are generally tinted.

Great job! It's very magical and childlike - not too much but just enough. It's fantastic.
