THE NATION (March 6.1992) by Muhammad Abbas Zaidi

Faiqa's painting of rural scene is superb depiction of the summer scene. The buffalo man driving his herd to a water sight is wearing a dhoti . It is amazing to note how Faiqa could capture this because the herd must be on move. This is remarkable, to say the least. More importantly the colors in the background are a good selection as they give evidence of how one can feel in summer. The color of dust in the background and the absence of greenry on the ground add to the feeling of heat.
