Divine Love

A pair of images painted on stretched canvas in acrylics enhanced with copper and gold paint.

20cms x 15cms each

This pair of images came into being because I wanted to study the shapes of the eyes and the
sweet smile of the divine couple Radha and Krishna as portrayed by traditional Indian miniature
paintings. I think they capture the sweet loving exchange between the two lovers.

”I bent my head to stop my eyes from stealing
yet still they ran to drink the face of my sweet love
they ran like chakora birds soaring for the moon
I forced them from his face and pulled them to my feet
like bees drunk with honey my eyes could scarcely fly
yet even then they spread their wings.’
