This painting was done by me quite a number of months back.

Since childhood I always loved watching baby elephants in Discovery and National geographic channel. The lovable bonding of the babies with their mother always attracted me. So I thought of capturing the baby-mother love scene with my paints and brushes !!

Hope you all will like it !

Life is just like a bicycle which you decorate as you like and keep riding it until you stop or it breaks . In your journey you meet with tons of colorful , little, precious moments just like these birds , but the birds are not meant to stay with you forever . But you will meet such little birdies all through your journey .

So enjoy the ride of life and cherish each moment !!
