She Moved Like A Dancer watercolor and ink by Meera Rao
India Art Journal 2015
She was a vegetable vendor. Everyday she sat by the roadside with a few crates of produce. She always dressed in simple though beautiful sarees with matching stylish blouses, bangles, flowers in her hair, and eyes rimmed with kohl. She also had a ready smile for her customers. This particular evening she was moving her crates to a storage area near by before calling it a day. As she lifted and carried her crates she moved like a dancer, light bouncing off the folds of her saree, face and body. I was captivated by the beauty and grace of her movements.

Hi, Meera, A lovely work! Yes, our movement has beauty and rhythm. A visual artist depicts it by drawing, a composer captures it with sounds and a writer catches it by words. Best wishes, Sadami
@Sadami, thank you! You words make my day :)
