Hi Sesha thanks for sharing this awesome painting ' holi cow..' love the happy vibe that just emanates from every corner of your artwork. I really enjoyed reading your notes and the Holi celebration sounds like a wonderful day.. totally packed with good emotions, happiness and joy of life.. your cow represents each one of these thoughts. I love the delightful splash of colour on the top of his head. its almost fuzzy appearance looks as though his brain is so full of excitement it is buzzing from within. the feature of white beneath is a great contrasting hue that frames his upper forehead nicely and draws my eyes down into his cheeky facial features. The deeper blue tones work well as a shadowing to define his features and helps accentuate the brown colouring around his eyes.. love his eye lashes.. ever so stunning.. and his ears are full of flare.. the lighter brush strokes on the inner ears gives your cow the most delightful appearance.. and contrasts well with the blackish hue beneath.. the paler turquoise splash on the left of his face provides a welcoming contrast in colour and adds to his overall appeal. His brush strokes used to define his nose are excellent. the varying hues give it a real three dimensional effect and I can almost imagine him sniffing something magical in the air as I stare into his happy face. The orange splashes of colour on the right of his face compliment that larger orange hue below his right ear. gives great balance to the scene and brings all the colours together well. the bluish hues on his body blend together perfectly and offer a nice complimentary hue to he blue and green background.. The picture really has a merry and exciting emotion emanating from within and makes me smile.. It is a fabulous creation to celebrate the joy of Holi day ... thank you for sharing.. it has been a pure treat and delight to review. happy smiles from mel

I heart about this festival, in fact last here there was a test of making such a festival in Israel, with no success

What a wonderful and colorful cow you have for us.
I like how you told us the story and history behind your cow.
Yur cow's form and details are well done as they peak out from all of the beautiful colors.
Great job with the fur around the head and ears.
Great piece, thanks for sharing.

Sesha, this is superb. I love the story behind it. We should do that celebration world wide. I love the vibrant colors and that expression on the cow...how could she look so bored when she looks so pretty?

What a wonderful holiday you describe! And I love the cow. She is probably a little puzzled but she looks wonderful. A playful entry in keeping with the mood of the day. Very nice work!
