The Winking Buddha
Painting
A unique and one of a kind painting. This is the first of its series. The image came to me while mediating and reminds me through meditation there is peace and calming of the mind. The opened eye signifies the journey taken through one's life. The joys, the sadness, and the trauma which life brings. Through it all, when you begin to close your eyes and meditate, all of those things become still, then silent, and then peace. Your body feeling free and weightless.
