Selfless
CA$ 169.00 CAD
This painting is entitled, 'Selfless' because flowers give of themselves selflessly throughout their existence. They give off their fragrance, and enlighten the world with their beauty without asking for anything in return. They provide the nectar for bees so that pollination can occur and we have our food taken care of. They assist in procreation by giving us seeds. One seed can generate multiple flowers and they give seeds that can further procreate. Thus the cycle continues. We have a lot to learn from flowers. This is the inspiration behind this painting.

The Story Behind
"Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links us with all humanity." - Nancy Astor
This powerful quote of Nancy Astor inspires us to think beyond ourselves and focus on the larger good.
Mother Nature gives her gifts to each of us without any discrimination. One of her gifts is beautiful flowers. I love flowers. I grew up in India. In my mother's garden there were flowers all year long. Their fragrance and beauty surrounded the house and uplifted our spirits.
As a human being and as an artist my goal is to create happiness, uplift spirits, and inspire people. This painting has been created with the same objective. If my creations bring a smile on even one person's face, I would feel that I have accomplished something.

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.
