Book of Compassion

$500.00

12" x 12" x 1-1/2”

Original mixed media painting with acrylic, papers, strings, threads, and cloth on canvas.

Book of Compassion is the second of two paintings that took shape upon an incomplete paintings I decided to play with. I was craving the element of the book during a period of working almost solely on paper. This canvas had a border of paper, strings, and some text, so I added paint and and played with ideas to bring it to completion. And with the use of raw canvas, I created this little book which is sewn onto the background canvas. The Sanskrit mantra that appears is: Lokah Samastah

The text next to the book reads: “May all beings be happy. May all my thoughts, words, and actions contribute in some way to the happiness of all beings.”

The text on the book reads: “May all be happy and free.”

The sides of this gallery wrapped canvas are painted to match the painting. It is signed and dated on the side of the canvas.
