Akanksha by

Hey everyone,

Lately I have been working on so many paintings at once and haven’t finished anything in a while but I finally finished this one. I got inspired to paint it after looking at many beautiful images of clothing from India.

She is a young bride to be who is trapped in an arranged marriage and secretly desires another life. Her name is Akanksha which means desire.

Here is a link to a close-up:

Hope you like it and thanks for taking a look :)
