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.
ReplyDeleteHello 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!
