Ganesha Enthroned, Oil Painting

2017

Artist Comments
This painting is of my small Sedona Ganesha statue 'enthroned' among two equally majestic and venerated coffee makers. Ganesha bring blessings including the great blessing of caffeine. This symmetrical still-life is the only one of its kind I have ever painted. It is painted on a ground of gold acrylic paint, which shows through the upper layers of oil painting.

About the Artist
For Rachel Srinivasan, an idea is worth putting on a canvas only if it still feels exciting after a few days. Rachel enjoys mulling the idea over in her mind for some time before creating an artwork. She hopes viewers will engage with her work and wonder about the subject matter, shapes and colors. "My current work is all about creating a connection between the person on the canvas with the viewer," she explains. She prefers large paintings and sometimes even makes her own canvases. She currently lives in Arizona and enjoys baking rhubarb pies, reading, running and going to art museums.
