Miniature Paintings from India

These paintings are so beautiful, so subtle and so strangely designed.
Look at how space is conveyed by stacking shapes.  There are no spaces in these paintings that look half-baked or hastily resolved-just to get it done.  It appears as if the design, the space and the subject all came into being at the same time.  Samantha, especially you look at the horizon line below.  The pale salmon glow and the muted olive of the foliage is like a gorgeous after-tone left at the end of a beautiful piece of music.  That was what was beginning to happen in your little painting.  Look for moments like this in all your paintings.
