Golden Buddha II

This oil on canvas portrayal of Lord Buddha comes from Indian artist Sadhana. The golden allure reminds us of the golden charm of Buddha Purnima that falls on the night of the full moon in the month of Vaisakha, which commemorates the birth of Lord Buddha. The day is marked with prayer, meditation and processions. In the painting, Lord Buddha sits peacefully with closed eyes and enlightens his devotees with his blessings. Brown, orange, gold, yellow, and green tones are prominent in the painting. The patchwork pattern in the background brings Lord Buddha's face to life.
