Rabari Farmer, Gujarat


Rabari Farmer, Gujarat, originally uploaded by melissaenderle.

Here is the watercolor painting I just finished of a farmer. Like most farmers in the region, he is wearing all white. My dad (who was a farmer) couldn't get over how these men could keep their clothes so white over the course of a day. Note the large earrings in the middle part of his ears.

I've often wondered the same thing about the white clothing....handsome man, and excellent portrait.
