This painting was inspired by a medium sized Buddha statue that my Mom gave me. I love Buddha. :) I took a photo of the statue and printed it out in black & white. Then I sketched the light and dark areas to clearly define them. Then I sketched it onto a 16″x20″ canvas and started painting him! :) After completing Buddha I wanted to fill the extra area with something simple that would continue the same feeling as Buddha himself. :) I love how this turned out!
