Kali

9×12 pastel on Sennelier paper

Just a quick little sketch I did for fun at the expense of our dear, sweet Linaji. When Linaji requested I do a Kali I don’t think this is exactly what she had in mind. When I saw the picture she posted of herself chowing down on that dog I just couldn’t resist. I hope she doesn’t employ the wrath of Kali upon me for doing this!

    OMG.. I LOVE KALI.. YOU MUST PUT THIS IN VAVOOM.. THIS IS GLORIOUS!!
    in the mountains I used to live in ..in India.. they called me Kaliji sometimes.. when I got mad at men and would want to kick ass.. (a nun came to my door one day and said the owner of the complex came to her door drunk and tried to take her..) Kali came out and I flew to his home.. well.. she got one month free rent!!! lolol xxxxx

  • MoonSpiral replied

    That is a funny story, yeah….I would turn into Kali too if someone tried to mess with a nun…lol.

    This is such fun! And adorable in a creator/distroyer goddess having a bit of fun type of way. And for being a quick little sketch…fabulous.

  • MoonSpiral replied

  • MoonSpiral replied

    You asked me a long, long time ago to do a Kali. I hadn’t really found any inspiration for her until I say that pic of you in the Vavoom newsletter. It was perfect!!! I am so glad you actually like it!!!!

    Wow Tammy-I just made a drawing of Kali last night-it was wild-she literally just appeared. My representation looks similar to yours. You did such a great job on this! And what a perfect photo reference.
