Diamonds in the rough

I have discovered a great artist here in Rishikesh and I'm so happy to have his work. I have decided not to post any more pictures of the actual work I am collecting just to save it for the final product.
Today we traveled to a town about an hour from Rishikesh to Dehra Dun to meet a painter named Mr. M.S. Kumar. He has been painting since the 1940's and was an illustrator and designer with talent that has not been matched by anyone else I have seen in India. Because his business has moved more to digital printing, he has not painted in years, but he generously donated one of his older paintings to Beyond Measure. I felt honored to meet him and see his work. It was exceptional.

    Hi Jess

I hunted down your site because Rachel was wanting to read about your trip - now that I found it she will see it tomorrow, and I'm sure will send you a note too

    Good luck and stay safe

    Jessica,
    What an adventure you are having! Thanks for all the updates. I'm glad you have someone to travel with too. How's your tummy feeling? Are you missing fresh fruit and veggies? I'm glad you are having a good time.
