This painting was inspired by the Gauri Ragini, a song for the end of the day in autumn. Roll your cursor over the image to examine the carefully painted details.

Listen to some raga recordings by visiting the Royal Ontario Museum website: www.rom.on.ca/exhibitions/special/ragamala/ragas.php.

Now create an artwork of your own inspired by your favorite song. Think about how to include the things you like best about the song in your artwork. How can you show the ideas or feelings expressed in the song? How can lines, textures, shapes, and colors capture mood, rhythm, harmony, and melody?
