Krishna Das Kaviraj, a 15th c Bengali poet~saint, composed an enchanting song while in deep devotional trance , Govinda Leelamrita, near epic song-poem full of revelations of the world of spiritual play.

Purvahna Lila is a portion of Govinda Leelamrita, revealing a luminous and painterly morning scene. The scene unfolds a transcendental feast for the senses: music, pageantry, laughter, dancing children, prancing peacocks. frolicking monkeys ,chattering parrots ,gentle cows ,youthful maidens, enchanting flowering forests.

• 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!
