Right where you stand
is the valley of endless spring
~ Master Dogen
Art making is a process of being in the present moment and translating experiences into creations. Painting Spring is a space in which I wish to share my creative expressions inspired by the Mindfulness practice in the tradition of Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh, through the arts. When we are present, when we are in touch with what is right in front of us, the wonders around us and within us reveal vividly. We touch the valley of Spring right here on Earth and see that our existence is truly a miracle. We don't need to seek a paradise outside ourselves and elsewhere.
I hope these creations bring you moments of joy and lightness!
May you touch the valley of endless spring within you and around you.
May the flower of Awakening bloom in the garden of your heart.

I literally cried when I saw View and With the Mountains; they are stunning beyond words.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was deeply moved by : Painting Spring, Spring Breeze, Earth Garden,Summer Spring Blossoms.
I wanted to dance when I saw the calligraphy.
I felt happy when I saw the art on the top of your blog Painting Spring (which is on every page); it is beautiful.
Also loved the meditation hall photo, especially in black and white as printed in Mindfulness Bell.
To me your work taps the core of the mystery of life, where spirit and nature converge.
You are blessed to have this talent and to be able to move people, to give yourself and others joy from your art.
I am hoping you find an exhibition space soon.
Thanks Rochelle for your kind & encouraging words! I'm happy to know they moved you deeply... I will keep working on it! :)
