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.

in countries where Bhuddism is being followed, they do respect anything related to it, it's their religion in some way...

I like this one very much, the theme ,the way of painting and that few color in the gray. It is an impressive work in an expressive way of painting.
You should work more with the palette knife, to see the color as material and not only as surface. Those massive structures are giving the picture a form of it's own and show your handwriting. Nice work!!!

I like this painting, the theme, the way of painting and that bit of color in the gray. Impressive work in an expressive way of painting. I think you should work more with the pallet knife to give your paintings some massive structures and abstraction, to see the color as material and substance and not only as surface.
Nice work Jo !!!

This is very nice. The limited use of color is effective, I especially enjoy the lower third of the painting; below the face, the texturing and coloring make me want to start using my palette knife again!

excellent , i love this a lot
to me , its a very spiritual meaning , deeper than most expect , as the tree of life is symbolized and surrounding the buddha , with arms of love and wisdom , from the deep roots of grounding to the outstretched to the heavens , all in one
