Lessons in Impermanence

A new client commissioned this piece for her husband’s birthday.  I call it “Lessons In Impermanence, aka Justin’s Buddha”.

In creating it, I learned so much … at almost every phase of its evolution.  Looking at it now, I am reminded to revisit M.C. Richards’ “trust and not knowing”, a concept that led me in my early days of painting.

As with some images, my photo editing program captures neither the true colors nor the true spirit of the piece.  It is merely a representation of the work my client asked me to do.  Over time it will shift down on my blog.  It will move down on my Facebook page.  It will be forgotten by most … virtual dust in the wind.

I remain truly grateful that my clients love it … that is ultimately what matters most to me.
