ESSENCE OF LIFE<\/strong><\/span> original painting, medium paint pens on canvas, sized 18″ x 24″.<\/p>\nThis was a commissioned piece for a collector named Daniel C. in Cocoa Beach, FL.<\/p>\n
He asked for something “zen-like.”<\/p>\n
So I started the painting, and partway through Maria asked, confused, “Who’s painting is that<\/em>?”<\/p>\nAnd I said “It’s Daniel’s from Cocoa Beach<\/em>.”<\/p>\nShe objected, saying “That’s not Zen<\/em>!” \u00a0I think she expected a Buddha and lotus flowers.<\/p>\nThough this wasn’t Maria’s idea of Zen, it was mine.<\/p>\n
The meaning behind ESSENCE OF LIFE<\/strong> is this:<\/p>\nWe all came to earth to love and experience life. \u00a0At the end of this life your earthly body releases your true self, the Light Body.<\/p>\n
The Light Body is pure energy; it can never be created or destroyed, just transformed.<\/p>\n
That, to me, is Zen.<\/p>\n
Life is good,<\/p>\n
