Like an enormous illustration, "Beloved India" pays tribute to the artisans who paint the earthen walls of Indian homes, a painting style characteristic of Indian folk art that is figurative, ornamental and very expressive: giant cartoons, picture-book illustrations and child-like frescoes.....Still today, the tradition of painting elephants with decorative patterns for important celebrations lives on; the animals are adorned in rugs, embroidered ornaments, pompoms and fringes, right up to their richly decorated tusks and right down to their feet, which bear bracelets with small bells.
The tradition of painting everyday scenes on walls is still practiced. The designer's simple yet vivid style perfectly captures India's inviting warmth and vivacious character.
so nice, it reminds me of Jim THompson silks, which is a Thai brand that has most of the stuff with elephants
