Title: Maa Lokkhi , commissioned piece
(Bengali school rendition of the Goddess of Wealth Maa Lakshmi)
Size: 35 cm x 45 cm
Medium: Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
Varnished, signed and dated
The jewellery and crown is rendered along the lines of traditional temple jewellery.
The owl comes back as the vahana as I did this for a Bengali collector.
This was the photo of an antique basara pearl nose ring
that I used as reference for painting the Goddess's ornament.
I found this beautiful piece here.

Beautiful work Dee! I swear the painting looks like it is covered with crystals and jewels.
Also, I love your new profile picture, you are so very pretty.
xox, Lisa
I don't know why, but the first word that slipped out of my mouth was Bah! Which is such a bengali way of expressing joy at seeing something beautiful...lol...I think as I get older more and more of my parents expressions enter my vocabulary.
Bah! ki shundor!
Very, very rich and ornate! The colors on the jewels glitter. I loved it!
Hi Dee,
I just found you through Julie-Ann's blog and I'm so happy I did! I fell in love with your art! It's really GORGEOUS and MAGIC!!! :):):)
Your last work is awesome! The richness of colors and details is truly fantastic! I agree 100% with Lisa, you really think she's covered in crystals! FABULOUS work!
I now follow your blog.
Lots of love, Sanda xx
What a beautiful work! I love it!
Lisa: Yes, I did want that slightly more realistic/embossed effect with the jewels this time. I like the new profile pic too, thanks!

Songofkali: hi there......many thanks for visiting and the feedback! No I have not painted Maa Kali as yet, hopefully I shall, someday soon
maa lakhhi painting was mesmerizing.. khub bhalo
Fantastic word Dithi...but can I suggest something?
Most of your paintings have the sankha pala painted in the reverse way. If you look at bengali ladies the pala is closest to the wrist and the sankha is just next to it. In your paintings it is painted in the reverse way. Perhaps you caan look into this detail next time.
Many thanks
Jay
