Description
*Better in full viewThe term Buddha means "Awakened". As he fully comprehended the Four Noble Truths and as he arose from the slumbers of ignorance he is called a Buddha. Since he not only comprehends but also expounds the doctrine and enlightens others, He is called a Samma-Sambuddha --a Fully Enlightened One.
The Buddha was a unique being. Such a being arises but rarely in this world, and is born out of compassion for the world, for the good, benefit, and happiness of gods and men. The Buddha is called by many epithets, among them The Great Physician, The Giver of Deathlessness, The Lord of the Dhamma (Doctrine). As the Buddha himself says, "He is the Accomplished One, the Worthy One, the Fully Enlightened One." The Buddha had no teacher for His Enlightenment. His knowledge of the secrets of all existence was realized by himself through his own intuitive wisdom.
Found the pic. ref. from the internet.

Very clever painting and with palette knife work too.
I love the subject.
It reminds me of the ruins at Angkor Wat, Cambodia. I haven't been there myself but I've seen them in documentaries on the television.

Even if jolly old Buddha was not your subject, I'd totally fall for such a painting: It's the tones, the tree-bark-feeling, ... feels very much like a faded yet cherished memory, to me.
