Purple Tara is the second Steampunk-themed painting that I created. While I will frequently re-claim beauty images from the mass media and change them up, this painting is based on an every-day woman. I found her face striking in its luminosity and a sense of wisdom and compassion that she radiates. That's why she has the name "Tara", after the Tibetan bodhisattva of compassion.
