India's Bharti Dayal creates this charming folk painting to illustrate a thought-provoking story. The night before the Matsya Vedh, or "Piercing Fish Eye," competition, Krishna appeared before the hunter Arjuna. Krishna tells Arjuna that if the hunter focuses on the fish, Krishna will hold the water still. The story illustrates that we are in partnership with God and must trust the deity to do what we cannot.

"Vibrant and Charming!"
This painting is delightful, a great combination of traditional form and colors and modern, geometrical composition. I love the parrots expression and the checkerboard-bird background.
