Spiritual Connection
CA$ 2,200.00 CAD
This mixed media painting has striking colours and a collage of materials that give it a 3D effect. The peacock has a spiritual connection with nature and with many gods and goddesses in India. Lord Krishna wore a peacock feather in his hair. In the painting the peacock is gazing at Krishna. Apart from its physical beauty, the peacock symbolizes renewal, awareness, metamorphosis, energy, and versatility. Peacocks are known to eat snakes. This conveys the message that we should not let negative things affect our spirit.

The Story Behind
I grew up in India. Peacocks used to be my favourite to watch during monsoons. They spread their feathers and dance as the rain approaches.
Peacock is known to be a harbinger of the rain. It’s call ‘Mae Aao’ beckons the rain to come. In Hindi 'mae' means rain and 'aao' means come.
When the rain comes after a long, hot and dry spell, the parched earth gets nourished, the trees have lush green foliage and the splendour and fragrance of flowers blossoming is like witnessing a little piece of heaven. This is what is portrayed in this painting.

Knowing where one wants to go, setting the goal and focusing on it are important in order to succeed. If one can eliminate distractions and stay focused on a single goal, success is not hard to attain. Sometimes it takes a young six-year old to remind us of this. It is based on a true story.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
