This Buddha is called Metta Buddha. It carries a special energy and a message for those who feel attracted to this painting. It is an oil painting on canvas. The canvas is a very old canvas which I was gifted. I left the roughness on the sides as I feel this adds to the charm of the artwork. The land arm in the back, called Cerro Gordo, which is in La Herradura, seems to emerge in my latest paintings. I like to work in series and sometimes this is quite an intuitive process. What shows up in a painting is kind of happening and then I might use it in more paintings. When things happen in my art, I just allow for that. And yes, it’s a Buddha impression again. For those who are following me this may not come as a surprise. I love painting Buddha images as they make me calm. La Herradura is the village where I live and the word itself means horseshoe. I wish this painting will bring happiness and luck for its future owner.
