Destroyer of Obstacles



Destroyer of Obstacles. Acrylic on canvas. 18"x 24". Ganesha, the elephant-headed god in the Hindu Pantheon, is said to have the elephant's ability to remove obstacles and is besought by his followers before any task to overcome difficulties. This painting is made with only 4 colors, titanium white, cadmium red, cadmium yellow and ultramarine blue acrylic paint. 








Suffering is approximately 7" x 4" in acrylic on eucalyptus bark. Christ's suffering resonates with me and why I chose it as a subject.
