This is my latest painting -"Kali!" And wow, there is a lot of colour squeezed into this one! I've long been fascinated with Hindu artwork - devotional images of the beautiful gods and goddesses with their mysterious blue skin used to intrigue me as a child. Kali - possibly my favourite - an incarnation of the mother goddess - but a VERY powerful force to be reckoned with! She's often depicted with severed heads, wreaking her vengence on those who cross her.... I've taken a more subtle approach and have given her a garland of skulls. I've portrayed her in the traditional Daksinakali dancing pose, and this REALLY is a beautiful painting. The colours are MUCH better and more vibrant in real life. It's a great size & shape -it truly can be the focus of any room, or tucked away in a narrow niche or nook. 24" high by 6" wide, original acrylic painting on masonite.
