Day 13: Eyes of the Buddha

I borrowed this image from a tapestry I saw in a shop in Kathmandu.  It's also a title for a new Fred Gillen Jr song.  This piece is a departure for me.  The photos that I took in Nepal are mostly too complex to paint, and I'm getting frustrated.  Many are of people, too, which I have a very hard time capturing.  I may just try a really loose, sort of abstract painting today (it's already 11:30am, and I haven't finished yesterday's, or started one today.)  I have not studied non-representational painting and composition, so bear with me, please.  This 30x30 will be inspired by Nepal, not strictly OF Nepal, I guess.

Oil on canvs, 6" x 6"

We used the image in this mural, too.  Not quite done!

The lovely Palistha, and an admirer.

Last panel, borrowing from the UN Sustainable Development Goals graphic.
