19” x 25” one-of-a-kind original acrylic painting, with 3 painstakingly screenprinted color separations and hand-applied metallic foil on hand-tinted golden bees.
This series is inspired by something similar the Serenity Prayer. In the Gita, one of the major books of Hinduism, there is a line advising that one does one’s duty within one’s control, without attachment to the results (“fruits”) of those actions that are outside of one’s control. The entire Sanskrit line is, “Karmanyevadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana.” In this piece, the background is composed of mango fruit, blossoms, and leaves, as well as bees! (So many bees! So tiny, but they are there!)
