Ganesh Glass Coaster

A glass coaster with my 18" square watercolor pencil painting of Ganesh. Ganesh is a Hindu god. He is the remover of obstacles, patron of arts and sciences, the lord of intellect and wisdom, the god of beginnings, and patron of letters and learning. He holds his own broken tusk in his lower-right hand and holds a delicacy, in his lower-left hand. In one upper arm, he holds an axe, and in the other upper arm, a noose. I have placed him seated in front of a pink lotus flower, as part of a symbol of new beginnings unfolding.
