Really cool Putana & Krishna painting!

I was wandering around Etsy.com recently and came across this great painting:

Putana and Krishna

I’ve never been a huge fan of Indian art. Sure, some is great work and I respect it, but I have never really been able to get into it. The same goes for much of the art in ISKCON books. I understand that it needs to be fairly realistic and it definitely serves the obvious purpose. But art should be interesting and daring (or if not “should” be… “can” be).

I love seeing art about Krishna, the devotees, etc., that is a bit out there. I really enjoy Sastvarupa Maharaja’s work. I think it’s really necessary that there be devotees out there expressing their devotion in such a way.

There are a few fun ones on DeviantArt.com as well.

Beautiful Nrsimhadeva! And I love how Putana’s holding the little bottle of poison, giving a knowing little look.

Oh I know. Really beautiful. I love the Putana painting. I’m tempted to buy it. Just wish I could.

So are you going to tell those of us not in the know the story the painting is referring to? :p
