Walking the red carpet

Walking the red carpet, 8 by 10 inches oil
 
There is no glamour nor flash lights for this walking the red carpet,  just pure enjoyment and comprehension of  the nature.
With this post I am introducing my new friend Swati Ahuja  who is a versatile story teller, poet and an artist. I met her on Instagram and  I am amazed at the way she perceives my artwork.  I am learning that the same work could be interpreted in a different way from what the artist conveys, and the interpretation adds so much of beauty. 
Here is Swati's Interpretation. "Some saffron dream this,fragrant and crisp,Some sweet solitude this,feeble yet courageous.If afternoon had wings, somewhere in her ruffled feathers, this would be a butterfly,walking, floating, flying,warbling".
Hope you will enjoy her works as well, as much I have!
