#livingcreatures

#thebirdsofindia A series of unparalleled artistry of #indianbirds is the painter's intense observation on #livingcreatures. The renderings manifested his command over technique acquired through rigorous discipline practiced over the years.  The inspiration from #masterpainters like Bian Jingzhao (#chinesepainter), Mansur and Govardhan (#mughalpainter), Ito Jakuchu (#japanesepainter) and John James Audubon (#americanpainter) and a combination of #traditionalart and #ornithology turned to artistic wonders. Shri Mahaveer Swami (@artistmahaveerswami) is presenting here a few of his splendour #avians, please DM for further queries on #originalart and on their #fineartprints. ••• #birdsofindia #birds #birdsonearth #naturalisticart #wildlifeart #birdart #birdpainting #birdillustration #birdlover #birdwatcher #birdartist #traditionalartist #indianminiaturepainting #indianbirdpainting (at Mahaveer Swami) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnhtJNxSsv7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Bug Was sitting at my desk When a bug just appeared Out of nowhere It was small and shiny Brown not black Which made me pause In the past my instinct would be To pull out a fist And assert my power Yeah I would have flattened it there and then Without any remorse Yet this time I paused Observed Wow this tiny creature was alive And vying for a little space to coexist with me Who was I to hurt it? Let it live I cried And so I did The bug had been nervous before Perhaps aware it was being observed Once it knew it was safe The bug relaxed and Scurried here and there With a certain abandon Aimless meandering Without purpose or reason Then it disappeared Only to reappear later With wings Wow the dude could fly as well That’s impressive shit Aren’t you a clever thing? My six year old son Once castigated me for killing A family of ants Who descended on an apple core And enjoyed a feast on my bedside table Unable to tolerate the infestation In seconds I murdered the lot of them My son screamed in pain and horror Since that moment I am changed Still a murderer at heart A killer of tiny defenceless creatures But a reformed one Would I kill again? A mosquito Or a cockroach Yes. I would And yet I reflect on my right to do so The fact I get away with killing creatures What does it mean in fact? Does it mean the planet is fundamentally doomed? For how is killing an ant any different From shooting an elephant Stamping on a cockroach Any different from kicking a swan as it mates in a dirty lake This bug was allowed to live today But on this same day so many have died ‘Imagine a world without trees,’ my son said ‘That is my biggest fear.’ #bugs #livingcreatures #don’tkillbugsman #shonchi #pigmentexplosion https://www.instagram.com/p/CCT8rg_Av59/?igshid=6c9h0echdnuz
