However in Bengal where I live, autumn means the flowering of the Kaash flowers. It heralds the end of the very wet Monsoons and the fields, especially near the river are covered with Kaash! I suppose its a kind of elephant grass which have these amazing silvery grey flowers! The river is no longer unsafe and the small country boats start fishing again. I have a memory of them from childhood....my mother used to put them in tall earthenware pots, and they glistened like silver, when the sunlight fell on them!
Painting this in 20 mins. meant I had to concentrate on what was essential. It also ensured I didn't fiddle, once the picture was done!! The picture came out better than I expected!

What fun, Brinda! Love the red pop of color to push the flowers forward. Very nicely done especially for 20 minutes!
I particularily like this one, especially with the burst of color.
...I love the way these 20 minute challenges turn out. Like with Elva's painting above, I love all the movement showing through.
