The Buddha of Infinite Light... 20x24 oil on linen. This was my first attempt at a Buddhist thangha. I painted 2 of these at the same time, one for me, one for a gift to the Buddhist Temple I attend. 6 weeks of bending over 2 canvases...and ultimately a damaged back. I was driven beyond belief in these paintings... and continued painting even when I normally would have walked away. I am never really happy with anything I paint, but I am surprised with my dedication and purpose with these. That showed a great change in me, and with that observation, I am most happy.
