Original mixed media painting on canvas

In May All Beings, my goal was to fill the canvas with threads and strings and rough edges of cloth. Even the background is textured with strings. The 12 pieces of painted canvas cloth are sewn to the background but only at the tops… and the threads are left hanging at both ends of the stitching.

I included the words from John Astin's song "May All Beings Be Happy" in English and in Sanskrit… “May all beings be happy. May all beings be at peace. May all be free from suffering. May all be free from pain.”

Some of the text is visible in the background and one of the four statements can be found under each of the cloth flaps.

I was so attracted to the shadows created by the way the light fell on the cloth, strings, and strands that I left the background quiet without color.

The painting is on a gallery wrapped canvas with painted sides. It has been signed and dated on the side of the canvas.

Original mixed media painting on canvas

Shivaya is one of a small group of Transcription Mini’s. Each piece has a sewn and constructed 6” x 6” canvas cloth painting. The painted square is then stitched onto a textured 8” x 10” gallery wrapped canvas. These Mini’s were inspired by the close-up photos I’ve taken of paintings in the Transcriptions Series.

The focus of this Mini is on the popular Hindu mantra, Om Namah Shivaya. The text is in Sanskrit and the English transliteration.

The canvas is signed and dated on the side.
