Ganesha is everywhere and in every size, from the gigantic painting on a cement wall to a tiny icon over a doorway in Varanasi.

Ganesha
© Ellen BlonderMy daughter Lisa inspired me to create this blog. (Check her own stuff out at blonderland.blogspot.com).
I'll add posts of current work in progress, but some background is in order:
This is what got me painting again after shoulder surgery three years ago. I needed to rehabilitate my arm, and Ganesha, remover of obstacles, seemed the perfect subject. It's inspired by a statue at the Hindu Monastery on Kauai. I hadn't touched my acrylics in years, preferring watercolors for much of my commercial work (see my website, ellenblonder.com, for samples). This piece is painted on canvas, and measures 20 x 20 inches.
