Brush Confession #11

“Do not dwell in the past,
do not dream of the future,
concentrate the mind on the present moment.”

I just finished a painting of the Medicine Buddha. I have always thought of art as a spiritual experience, but for some reason the act of painting the buddha was a very deep emotional experience for me. I have returned to meditation again. Remembering what really matters. Clearing my mind and touching my suffering gently. Each stroke, each breath I made while painting the buddha, brought my mind back to the moment. I am currently working on the video and feel even though the painting is done the experience still continues. I will return later with both a video and a conclusion. May all you readers out there find happiness.
