“In the mind there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and believe them to be true.” — Buddha
This is my first painting where I consciously centered the subject on its chakras. The subject I saw in Boston’s art museum, her color occurred to me while hiking in Sedona’s Boynton Canyon, and the stacked perspective in the background is classic Chinese.
