Buddha In The Forest

In Buddhism, Buddha literally means the Awakened One or the Enlightened One. Generally, buddhist do not consider Gautama Buddha, commonly known as Shakyamuni, to have been their first and last Buddha. According to the religion, Gautama Buddha is just a member of a spiritual lineage of Supreme Buddhas. The next Buddha-to-be is named Maitreya (also known as the Laughing Buddha). According to the scriptures, at present, Maitreya (as a bodhisattva) is preaching in the Tusita Heaven.

A Buddha statue in the forest. Well, I am not an artist. I just like to paint when I have mood to paint. My particular weakness - I always end up painting layer upon layer and the colors turned out too striking, ending up the picture being a little too cartoon !

I like to draw and paint the nature. I suck and a little rigid in drawing human and animal objects. I have to seriously learn how to draw a face (for some good reasons). Well, the third picture of a completed drawing - just for my own keeping (yea, I know, it is weird to have lotuses in the forest !!).
