The mother made way for her son :) that is a riddle only someone who knows what is "behind" this painting would understand!In an earlier blog I had mentioned about wanting to attempt multiple Ganeshas on one canvas
http://pushyram.blogspot.com/2009/08/phase-of-ganeshjis.htmlI worked over these "ashta Ganapathis" playing different musical instruments using acrylic paints over canvas. 2 of the Ganeshas - the flute and veena are inspired from pics off the internet; the guitar and the Nadaswaram were concocted from my imagination; while the rest are inspired from statues. I enjoyed painting the backgrounds in various textures and patterns and at one point Ram thought that, that was it. It was tempting to leave it like that in vivid colors but Ganesha had already removed the obstacle and made up my mind :)
