Mehfil

Oil on Canvas

16” x 20”

Original Painting by Ayeesha Khanna

Canvas board, framed in light wood

"Mehfil" is a silent symphony, where each flower is a musician, glowing in the moonlit concert of nature. The blossoms, arrayed like delicate notes on the dark stave of the branches, seem to sway with a rhythm only they can hear. Their warm, peach-toned petals unfold like the bellows of an accordion, infusing the air with their silent music.

This painting, created in 2020 during the peak of the pandemic, a visual hymn, a soft celebration of the small mercies of life and gratitude for joy in the midst of much quietude.
