Once, they attempt to reach the railway station on their own but fail due to the large distance between their village and the train station.

 I painted this in 2017 for an inter-school Astro-art competition. This painting won first place in the competition. I have always enjoyed painting miniature deep-sky objects for greeting cards, but this was the first time of doing it as an actual painting. It was an awesome experience😄
