Krishna's lilas

After Krishna defeated the serpent Kaliya which had poisoned the waters of the Yamuna river, He danced on it's heads. What a dance that must have been!

I used a black foam board and acrylic paints to draw the Kaliya Mardana dance. I had outlined the drawing with pencil and as I proceeded, I decided not to paint Krishna's face and body. It is left to the imagination of the devotee. Close your eyes and you can see Krishna :)

This I hope is a beginning of a series. I already have a idea to paint on the similar black foam board, Krishna and Radha on a Swing, then Yashoda chasing Krishna....
