Philosophical Garden 1

This series is based on using the spiritual shrine as the central circular figure and residing on the earthlike structure from which springs suggestions of flora. In my mind this piece and the whole series suggests something ethereal but central to our human experience.

This painting using gouache and Sumi ink is one in a series of pieces where I explore the relationships between upper and lower worlds; psychological, seedling from root to air, a garden in bloom with a shining sun.
