Prayer
CA$ 395.00 CAD
This painting is very different from other paintings in its presentation. It has a smaller canvas mounted on top of a larger canvas which serves as a frame. The larger canvas has very interesting texture and luminous colours to complement the painting. This painting of flowers is entitled, 'Prayer'. When do we use flowers? Flowers are used to offer blessings, offer prayers, bring greetings, and good wishes for many different occasions - weddings, graduation, birthdays, funerals, and prayer in a temple or church etc. Why do we associate flowers with prayer? Flowers symbolize purity. They are delicate, precious and fragrant creations of nature. Flowers uplift the spirit and touch us deeply, exactly the same way as prayer does.

The Story Behind
"I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things." Mother Teresa
This, in a nutshell, is the essence of praying. Prayer evokes feelings of nobility, and goodness within us. It allows us to deal with difficult situations in a calm and collected manner.
I grew up in India. In India we offer fresh flowers to the deities every day when we pray. Flowers are aa symbol of beauty, purity, gentleness, and fragrance. These are the things we wish to have in our life. Flowers evoke a feeling of upliftment, gratitude, calm and serene beauty. This is the inspiration behind this painting.

Knowing where one wants to go, setting the goal and focusing on it are important in order to succeed. If one can eliminate distractions and stay focused on a single goal, success is not hard to attain. Sometimes it takes a young six-year old to remind us of this. It is based on a true story.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
