Contemplation- Mixed Media Prints

After nine wonderfully rich and exciting weeks of travel, there are so many ideas floating around my mind, it will be a while before they all come to fruition. The first series of work has been started and here are some of the images. The mixed media series titled Contemplation was inspired from visiting so many temples in Asia. We spend the bulk of our trip in Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar- all Buddhist countries. I visited many temples and monasteries. These mixed media prints are inspired from those many visits and from what I learned from those visits, from what I saw and understood about the culture and people and about loving kindness, the essence of Buddhism.
