Tied, 60 x 48 inches, oil on linen, Aug-Sept 2001 - This painting evolved from a summer day spent sitting in a field watching horses. I started painting it August. On September 10th, after the underpainting was done, my family went on a flight from Vancouver to Toronto, to visit family, and friends. It was so fun for me to go with my three and a half year old, William, up to the cockpit to see the pilots and to look out the window. The steward even carried William piggyback! The contrast with the purity of this event, to what happened the following day will always be remembered. I came back to the Studio one week later to the unfinished, and yet to be named, ‘Tied’.

The prince caught the bird as it fell, removed the arrow, and nursed the swan back to life. Devadatta demanded the swan from Siddharatha, claiming it as his prize. But Siddharatha refused. So they brought their disagreement to the royal court. The judges awarded Siddharatha the swan, saying, “Life is more valuable than anything else in the world. Whoever saves a life is in harmony with the Truth, and owns it.” A selection from Siddharatha, Stories by Grandpa Kanai L. Mukherjee (Grandpa)

Tied, 60 x 48 inches, oil on linen, Aug-Sept 2001 - This painting evolved from a summer day spent sitting in a field watching horses. I started painting it August. On September 10th, after the underpainting was done, my family went on a flight from Vancouver to Toronto, to visit family, and friends. It was so fun for me to go with my three and a half year old, William, up to the cockpit to see the pilots and to look out the window. The steward even carried William piggyback! The contrast with the purity of this event, to what happened the following day will always be remembered. I came back to the Studio one week later to the unfinished, and yet to be named, ‘Tied’.

The prince caught the bird as it fell, removed the arrow, and nursed the swan back to life. Devadatta demanded the swan from Siddharatha, claiming it as his prize. But Siddharatha refused. So they brought their disagreement to the royal court. The judges awarded Siddharatha the swan, saying, “Life is more valuable than anything else in the world.
