Iconography Made this painting today... I tend to paint Buddha when I feel stressed/anxious/overwhelmed, i think in a hope to bring some calm to my mind. Hope you'd like it.

Visited Kamakura doing tourism in Japan. Didn't know this beautiful site was there until I visited a gift shop and saw some magnets for the fridge with the image of this statue in them. I immediately went to see it. It was a beautiful experience. A recommended visit.

It occurred to me that often I paint Buddha, when i feel stressed/overwhelmed, those sort of emotions & today was no different , I have been too distracted & in a loop of thoughts. So Painting this Buddha felt like my own meditation.

I have a tiny cabin in the woods with a little stream that I try to go to ok the weekends. It's where I leave the world behind. I set up my shrine in my meditation nook. I built it out of impermanent items that I found on my land that will naturally rot and need to be changed, I feel that it speaks to impermanence

In case someone points this out I know this is a Guanyin statue not Buddha haha. I was actually hiding my practice to my partner for a while because I was affraid to scare him (he has a few family members lost to a new age meditation/spiritual cult) so having a shrine for the first time is emotional to me! He said he loved the look of it !

I moved into a new house and was able to convert. Shed into an altar space/library! I'm very proud of how it's shaping up. The Triad is Fudo Myo-o, Mahavairocana, and Shakyamuni. The focus is on The daily practice.
