New Painting, Elephantess and print release

Just stoppin in the share my most recent finished painting:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6278179734/" title="Elephantess by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Elephantess" height="640" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6216/6278179734_144f3d01df_z.jpg" style="WIDTH: 401px; HEIGHT: 555px" width="480" /></a><br />"Elephantess"<br />Original acrylic painting by Chelsea Rose<br /><br />I cant believe it took me so long to finish her! I started this one Sept. 1st. which means its taken me almost 2 months to complete. I think thats a testimate to how busy things have been.<br />This painting is loosely inspired by Lakshmi, Hindu Goddess of fortune. She is often depicted with beautiful elephants by her side but in my version I melded Lakshmi with her elephant counterparts. Her old fashioned, fancy aristocratic dress and top hat are meant to communicate her abundance/ prosperity/fortune. I tried to incorporate a couple of the traditional symbols associated with the Goddess Lakshmi: the Lotus in her hand( evolution), Gold on the lotus, dress, in her eyes(prosperity), red/magenta/pink dress(creative activity), elephant head(wisdom, purity, charity) and peacock feather in her hat(transmutation, eternal knowing and truth.)<br />It was fascinating taking the time to research and get to know Lakshmi. I had hoped to finish her in time for Diwali Day when she is often worshiped/celebrated but that didn't go as planned.<br />Anyhoo, I plan on releasing some 8"x10" prints of her soon, so keep an eye on <a href="http://www.lucidopticlab.etsy.com/"><strong>my etsy shop</strong></a>.<br /><br />Speaking of prints...I recently released a new one:<br /><br /><img height="473" src="http://img3.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.278251891.jpg" style="WIDTH: 432px; HEIGHT: 443px" width="434" /><br />"Goddess of the Hunt"<br />original acrylic painting<br />8"x10" prints now available for $15 <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/83876725/goddess-of-the-hunt-8x10-giclee-print"><strong>here</strong></a>.<br /><br />And here is one of 9 art pendants up for grabs right now:<br /><br /><img height="509" src="http://img1.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.278820937.jpg" style="WIDTH: 483px; HEIGHT: 437px" width="485" /><br />The art used in this pendant is an archival giclee print of my original acrylic painting "Mistress and the Orb"<br />Let this pendant serve as a thing of beauty or work as a good luck charm of sorts, stimulating your drive to explore the majestic and mysterious.<br />Available for $10<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/84033140/orb-mistress-art-pendant"><strong>here</strong></a>.<br /><br />More comin soon!<br />Much love,<br />-Chelsea Rose
