This picture is part of the Big Picture Art Project!
Drawing by Soma Debnath
Country: United Kingdom
The Story behind my drawing:This is a traditional Madhubani painting which is a form of Indian folk art done mainly in the state of Bihar.
This painting is deeply personal to me. I have a fond childhood memory of my mother and I reading together(sometimes to each other) during summer vacations. She was a busy lady and she hardly used to get time to sit with me and read books to me or play with me. We looked forward to our month long holidays(twice a year) so that we can spend some quality time with each other,reading, playing, eating our favourite fruit(mangoes).
My connection to #Vancouver or what Vancouver evokes to me:A few years ago 3 of my food photographs along with a little writeup was published in a Vancouver based magazine called Here Magazine. It was a very beautiful surprise.Since then I have been wanting to go there and see the beautiful city and its people in person.
