This is really beautiful. I searched for the N8FP on Google images and this came up. I had to know who did it. This is really gorgeous.

I recently have been practicing Buddhism, and it's the artistic, creative Buddhists like you who continue to inspire me, and make me want to share my Buddhism with the world through visual art.

The floral patterns- like a thousand concepts growing from serene inspiration; the flowers and mudras, etc contrast brilliantly with the calm face of the meditator; brilliant.

NightHalo [2005-12-21 00:18:00 +0000 UTC]

The details and wonderful coloring of his painting really increase the vivacity of the overall subject. I think you've created a unique vision of this concept and you've added meaning through color (like the blue which is like Krishna's skin) and expression (the way the lotus' rise and the small hands). Good work.
