Original acrylic mixed media painting on canvas

Love and Compassion is a mixed media painting in a series of “Text-tures” I chose to feature Om Mani Padme Hum, a Tibetan mantra, in Sanskrit and the English transliteration. Although the mantra is rich with meaning, I have chosen to highlight its reference to love and compassion, which we could always use more of in our world.

Each of the 15 painted pieces of canvas cloth are sewn onto the background canvas along the top. Much of the text can be found on the thin strips of cloth woven in and out of those hanging squares. And the final element is the small “prayer pocket,” a folded and painted piece of, canvas.

The gallery wrapped canvas is painted on the sides as in the front. The painting is signed and dated on the side.
