My first traditional Indian miniature painting!

I have returned from my 3 month INTACH travel scholarship adventure in Jaipur. I was very lucky to meet Ajay and Vinita Sharma http://www.liveminiature.com/. Ajay took me on as a student. I have learnt so much; it was such a privilege to have been taught and to have  worked with such knowledgeable, skilled, disciplined, patient and kind people.
