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.

Instant fav honey!!!!
Great use of the pallet knife, those tree roots and branches look very realistic. I also love how you've created such depth and detail with a very limited pallet. Well done my dear
I have a Buddha in my house...though he's not surrounded by tree!!
