During my lifetime, I have learned many secrets of happy living, from Mother Nature. This artwork depicts one of them.

This view is of the calm Indian Ocean, seen at Andaman & Nicobar Islands [INDIA], which were the destination of freedom fighters sentenced to life imprisonment, during the British Rule.
The cellars of this famous jail can bee seen even now.
Veer Sawarkar was one of them, who faught the battle of independence, till he won it, way back in 1947.

These islands are so rich in scenic beauty, that they appear to be the Heaven on Earth.
The Sea water here is so crystal clear, that you can see the ocean bed clearly, at the shallow seashores.

When I saw the original photo in a travel guide, I was awe inspired to see the only two flowering trees, in the vast expanse of this blossomless ocean...as if supporting each other with dedication.... in search of eternal happiness.

And I decided to capture with my brush, this Mr. & Mrs. Optimist , from whom I had learned the secret of marital bliss.
