Peacocks in an Elevator (11' x 4') This painting was done on canvas in my studio and then taken to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Nair to be placed in their elevator. I just love it. The colors and metallic paints to highlight everything are so vivid. Once it was placed in the elevator, Mrs. Nair had me paint the ceiling in the same blue with clouds just like the sky. Makes for one of those few times that you probably don't want to come out of the elevator any time soon! |

This great room mural is approximately 22 feet in the air. It has one large, majestic peacock on the ground, in full plumage and one sitting up on a wall with the tail feathers cascading down. A couple of white Cockatoos just landed in the branches above with green, lush mountains in the background. All is finished with highlights of gold, bronze and silver leafing. |

This Hindu mural painting was created for a client in India and for a charitable cause. It is the first painting that will be hung in a new Hindu Temple being built to honor and take care of some of the dancing bears of India, as they are called. Vyoma and Shan Nair are building a sanctuary in India to be able to take care of a couple hundred dancing bears of India. The dancing bears of India were taken at a young age out of the wild forests there, had a rope or ring woven right through their snouts with no regard to the painful process and were used by their handlers to make money on the streets by making them ‘dance’ for tourists. They led a horrible existence of only about a 6 ft. rope and were at the mercy of all that used them for money. India has outlawed this practice, but there are many bears in bad condition and unable to fend for themselves back in the forest for they have lost their survival and feeding skills. Mr. and Mrs. Nair have taken on this cause to take care of as many of them as they can and have the cooperation of the Indian government to do so. Vyoma and Shan Nair stated that once there is a temple built on the site, people will come from all over to donate and then the sanctuary will be self sustaining. Some of the bears are going to live another 40 years or so. I was honored when asked to do this first painting for them. It is of the story of Jambavan the bear and Krishna and shows the end of their fight in Jambavan’s cave and Jambavan bows and concedes when he realizes who he is fighting. To see this fight on You Tube, here is the link, acted out in a play form and is quite interesting. |
