Watercolor "Remover of Obstacles" Hawaii artist Arlene G. Woo

By accident, I found myself Googling Ganesha and found that I could relate to him right now.  He is known as the "Remover of Obstacles" and I can use that now.  Hindu color symbolism indicates that blue conquers evil, saffron is for warriors, and yellow is for peace and happiness; thus, my choice of colors.  Hopefully, he can help you, too.  contact: arlenesart@gmail.com

New Day, Acrylic by Arlene G. Woo, Hawaii Artist

This is an acrylic on 18"x18" gallery wrapped canvas.  As usual, I enjoy painting with acrylics because I can be much bolder with my strokes.  I also like to rub off and on to create texture and layers.  The touch of red is paper.  My daughter named this image right off the bat.  Maybe a new day is something we'd all like.  This image is currently on display in Louis Pohl Gallery but it is available for purchase.  Contact me for shipping costs:  Arlene G. Woo   SOLD
