# 26 The Bells on Nanda Devi
I've just crossed the quarter mark in the challenge and want to share my feeling of achievement.This challenge has been excellent and I have certainly benefited, so THANKS. This painting proves that I have finally begun to paint in the way I want to, using many washes and keeping the colour translucent! The reference picture for this was taken during a trek to Nanda Devi Peak in the Himalayas. These are prayer bells and prayer flags! Another thing that has happened is that when I use a reference picture, I am able to disregard the unnecessary details in the photograph and concentrate on the central theme!

CONGRATULATIONS on your quarter mark Brinda! I know what a great feeling it is.
ReplyDeleteYou have really captured the movement in these bells, I can just about hear them. The colors are wonderful and the detail is just enough. Really wonderful job on this piece. Bravo!
I think this is my favorite of what you have done. It has so much life! I can see the breeze blowing the little bells and ribbons.
ReplyDeleteMy only constructive comment would be to put a little highlight on the clapper of the litter bell, second from the left. It's clapper gets lost in the darkness.
Wonderful painting!
