Time Out



Tranquility



 The story goes something like this: There was once an American businessman visiting Tibet. Climbing the mountain along side his guide, the two men meandered for three days before reaching their village destination. The businessman said, "You know, it would be so easy for you people to build a road directly from the town to the village. That way you could be there in 30 minutes tops." The guide smiled and  in a soft voice said, " But then, who would appreciate the lush green fields and listen to the babbling brook, or smell the wild flowers?"

I painted "Tranquility" as a reminder to take time out from our bustling lives. When I look at this painting, I feel peaceful and calm. I´m reminded that meditation is good and necessary for the soul.

In the Chinese culture the crane's symbolic presence in the home is believed to bring harmony, good fortune and happiness. It is also a symbol of longevity. I thought the cranes to be the perfect decoration for this quiet corner.

Most of the paintings on this blog are for sale.
