Grateful to be blessed with collectors who give me fun themes to work on, and the artistic freedom to execute them. This is 2nd in a series of 3 Indian festival commissions. It’s called Navratri (translation: 9 nights). Navratri is a festival of 9 consecutive nights of dancing; my favorite from when I lived in India. It was a great excuse to dress up in vibrant Indian outfits and costume jewelry, and stay up well past bedtime dancing to the beat of drums. Have you commissioned a custom painting? It isn’t as intimidating as it sounds. Reach out to your favorite artist and ask them if they are interested in doing a custom painting for you. The gift of a custom painting or portraiture is a thoughtful gesture that will be cherished for decades. (Swipe left for timelapse videos. ) ✨ ‘Navraatri’, 2021. 20 inch square.
