Black and White Madhubani Style Painting from India, "Love for Nature II"
Bharti Dayal celebrates her love of nature in the ancient style of Madhubani painting. Dayal mixes vegetable dyes with acrylics to paint peacocks perched within the spreading branches of a great tree. Subtle touches of red and pink relieve the otherwise black and white composition. Traditionally painted by women from Mithila on the walls and floor of their homes, Madhubani paintings often depict ancient mythological themes.
Please note: Bharti Dayal signs her pieces on the back side.

Bharti has dedicated her life to the preservation of Madhubani painting. She is viewed as an authority in the field and has trained dozens of aspiring artists in this ancient style, many of whom are now able to earn a living through the practice of this art. In her own paintings, Bharti brings a contemporary intellectual edge to this ancient Indian folk art. She has received numerous awards for her paintings but the one she treasures most is the National Award for Excellence in Handicrafts, also known as the President's Award - it was her long-held dream to receive it.
The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.
