THE NATION (6 March 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 colours in the background are a good selection as they give evidence of how one can feel in summer. The colour of dust in the background and the absence of greenery on the ground add to the feeling of heat.

Where oil and watercolour paintings were termed perfect by art lovers who were fascinated by her paintings.

Busy like bees, the three mechanics, are deeply associated with their work, the youngest in mending a puncture, the eldest is separating a tire from its metal rim, while the third is busy in some other repair work.
