India *10.5 Madhubani 2

Kori and I were super blessed on this trip... We had a home stay with a tantric brahman painter family (Krishnand Das and his son Golugi's family), and Ishu (the nephew of the mystic lover painter Santosh Kumar Das -work shown bellow w/ stripe gren background) as a friend and translator... Each day we visited artist studios, explored villages looking for the roots of the tradition, and learned about local techniques. At the end we gave a workshop and invited all the artists we met to come play collaborative art games....
