Buddha, Oil painting, 9"x12" by Aruna Nitin Sarode

The weekend is over and my Buddha painting is complete too. I like this colored version better than the earlier black & white. I like the feeling of peace and calm in his face.

My Buddha is getting a makeover! Looks a bit too yellow right now, but it will be toned down in the next layers. Come back and check the progress.

Buddha, oil painting - I am not satisfied with how the painting turned out. Think I'll add some color.

Thank you

Thanks Tanya and the wonderful staff at David Adler Music and Arts Center for a successful art show. Thank you to all who visited the show and those who supported and encouraged online and offline.
I will share my next project with you soon. Is it a flower, landscape, still life, portrait...? For now I'll just say बुद्धं शरणं गच्छामि (Buddham sharanam gacchami).
