This is an oil painting I did a few years back. I named it "the meditation." At the time painting was a form of meditation for me. I was studying a sodalite stone one day and I saw the shapes in it formed the facial features of a man. I decided to use the face I saw in the stone as the man's face in my painting.

Hello again Lydia. You are truly a great artist. The way you use colors is very pleasing to ones eyes. I really like this one. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHello Lydia,
ReplyDeletethis is a wonderful painting, so serene and meditative. I like the color contrasts between the red robe the man is wearing and the dark blue background with a wonderful full moon in the night-sky.
Wishing you a peaceful Saturday,
Eva

Hello Eva, Thank you! I Like to change it sometimes. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThat man you painted there seems to be very happy something :>
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of "peace" emanating from this pretty painting of yours.
Hello Midsummerprism, Thank you. He does look very content.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! Hey Lydia, sorry I've not been around for a while - family stuff has kept me out of the blog-visiting circuit.
ReplyDeleteThis painting reminds me of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado. I would love to see your version of the "Three Little Maids From School".

Hello Kat, Thank you! I know what you mean. I'm finding it harder to be online myself with garden season here and my daughter getting done with school soon. Have a wonderful evening!
ReplyDeletenice painting. I like the details in the flowers and grass. I think meditation in todays world has really lost it's place. There was a time, when people meditated so they could levitate ... or even today certain monks meditate to raise their body temperature while sitting in soaked clothes on a winter evening.
ReplyDeleteHello Nabeel, Thank you! I also think that meditation has lost it's place. It use to be so sacred and personal. I feel regular meditation keeps me focused and grounded in my everyday life. These days it's very hard to find alone time with my two young children. Have a great day!
