A palm tree leans in to listen.
The work
In Village the Thrissur artist Ranjini A M paints two huts with thick grass roofs. A woman in an orange sari stands by a thin fence. She holds a small red cup. Two clay pots and a pale blue bucket rest on the brown earth. A coconut palm leans across the left side. Ranjini works in acrylic. The painting is 60 × 90 cm. Her college is SIES in Bombay. She says her work often begins with something familiar. Here she stays close to the ordinary day.
