This original acrylic painting was painted while listening to meditative music. The music inspired the selection of paint and the theme of the finished painting. Some of the thoughts I had while painting it. Lotus River Deep in the mud lies the bulb of the lotus. Slowly but surely it reaches up to the light. None of the mud adheres to it as it buds on the surface. Then it burst into bloom, white, yellow, red and purple. We can be caught in the toils and struggles of life, But we can reach up and through with time To blossom and bloom in the joy of nature. We can because all things pass. The lotus in red speaks of love In white and yellow mental strength Blue and Purple control of the senses. All the things that help us burst into JOY The painting is 24x24" on box canvas. The edges have been painted black to highlight the front and not detract from it. It is ready to hang.
