This composition unveils the words spoken by Krishna to Arjuna , in the Bhagavad Gita. Arjuna is despondent and fearful about being drawn into battle against family members. In his profound anguish and moral dilemma, Arjuna turns to his dear friend and trusted charioteer, Krishna. Krishna lovingly uplifts Arjuna with powerful words of wisdom, showing a Fearless Path to follow.

• My creative process involves five steps:

1. Original watercolor calligraphic composition of the sacred text, (like a "sketch").
2. I continue to develop the composition using digital media.
3. Transfer of the digital painting to canvas Giclee (archival inks),which I supervise closely.(this is the "under-painting")
4. Illuminating the whole canvas with pure gold-leaf, silver-leaf and copper-leaf.
5. Repainting the entire canvas with oil paint, metallic paint, and markers (for very small detail) and
6. Final varnish to preserve the metallic elements.

           As you can see, while the print element is there, it is the smallest part of the process,
while the "hand work" is by far the greater!
