Hues & Strokes: Aaji's house

Ketaki Chinchorkar

Pune, India

Acrylic on Canvas | 8" × 11"

My Aaji's house has a blue window with madhumalti arching over it. In many ways, this window has been a doorway to my memories there. Even after their passing, I can still walk through that doorway into cherished memories. Converting the same blue window into a door in this painting is slightly bittersweet, knowing no one is behind that door anymore. But the memories of my grandparents and their home will always live in my heart.

I hope this simple journey down memory lane will connect you with your special place or person.
