Offering Goddesses

 When feeling whimsical I have been creating characters to represent the offering goddesses of the Buddhist tradition.

Gandha offers perfume to Buddha Amoghasiddhi

Dhupa offers incense to Buddha Ratnasambhava

Pushpa offers flowers to Buddha Akshobya

Aloka offers light to Buddha Amitabha

First Birdsong Painting

 Today I had an impulse to make a series of images of birdsong.  Here is the first Birdsong painting, mixed media and collage on watercolour paper. The photograph does not capture all the subtleties, but gives an idea. There are no birds or musical notes as that would be far too literal.

Flowers inspired by Tiffany glass

 I have been playing with paint markers on paper.  I love Tiffany glass and was exploring the stained glass style. (The image is from my own imagination). Something a little different came out of the materials and the inspiration.

Red vase in winter

Another fruit of my digital experimentation working out how to make interesting and attractive images on my iPad.

Paeonies

A vase of paeonies - is this cheating? To take my photograph and turn it into this using tcouchscreen technology and an app? Or is it the future beckoning?
