Discovering the Buddha Within, 30x30 oil on linen... yes, I am discovering the Buddhist philosophy of life, and like all of my life events, I am putting it on canvas. I wanted to do this Buddha in the antique Tibetan or Indian style, with tons of color, and a precise composition. Through this painting, I have learned the impermanence of all things, as the color pallet and composition changed throughout the painting. I learned patience, and perseverance, and found that I had to live in the moment to keep from getting overwhelmed with the detail. To look forward was disheartening, and to look back (because of all the changes) was frustrating. I am pleased that he is finished, I just wish he would stop staring at me ;-)
