The truth of life by Romila Datta

A traditional Romany cremation ceremony and brave of you to show it Romila. Beautifully and realistically painted. May she rest in peace.

Wow, such a poignant painting Romila, thanks for showing it.

Returning to the elements from which she came: condolences on the loss of your mother; mine died three years ago: I know the feelings one's left with. This is quite a celebration of life in death, death in life - as it should be.

Condolences to you Romila, on the loss of your mother. It’s a difficult time but hopefully as time passes your pain will ease. A wonderful painting full of emotion.

Very moving and dramatic Romila.

May your mum have reached the other shore. A beautiful painting and thanks for showing..🙏

Thank you so much everyone 🙏🏽. It’s a traditional Hindu cremation ceremony. I was not going to post it but then realised, this is the only truth in life. Everyone has to go through this.

Such a powerful and emotive piece. Condolences Romila.

I'm in awe in every way Romila - very well expressed. Sending you my sympathy and empathy ..

Very powerful, sorry to hear the loss of your mum, thank you for showing 💓🌸

As a painting Romila this is beautifully made, then when we read the meaning and truth behind it, it becomes even more powerful and moving. Well done you. 🙏

Powerful painting and viewed even more that way having read your words.

Expressed very well Romila and very sorry for your loss.

Bold and honest Romila. Thank you for sharing this personal moment

What a lovely way to honour your Mum's memory - as well as being a very good, thought provoking painting. Please accept a Christian prayer for you, your Mum and your family.

What a powerful painting and it must have been so difficult for you to paint Romila. How brave of you to do it. So sorry for your loss.

Thank you so much everyone for your kind messages of support and prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽
