OMG! I love it. It is the mosaic I wanted to make for my Buddha exhibit. The mille is fantastic! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks E!
ReplyDeleteLove this:) Your peaceful monochromatic subject could have been too calm and yet you chose to place him on a dynamic diagonal ... that along with the repetition on the mili really make this exciting. Your sophisticated design sense and compositional skills have really done a LOT with a little.... 5x5? Wow. Good job girl.
ReplyDeleteAlso madly in love! Definitely a favorite!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Rebecca and Pam!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous job on this piece CB! The features of the face are amazing....you captured peace and serenity....he is really beautiful! Cynthia
ReplyDeleteThanks Cynthia :))
ReplyDeleteI think of this Buddha as more feminine. I read on-line that according to Buddhist scripture, Blue Buddha is the Buddha of medicine and healing, the color blue symbolizing coolness, infinity and ascension. You have captured that feeling in this mosaic. I love it!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Danette, and that was my intention. I believe Buddha had some feminine qualities. Glad it came across. :) I didn't know that about Blue Buddha! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is a WONDERFUL piece, Christine!! Love the blues, love the angle, love the expression, love the way you used mille... Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barb - happy you like it! :)
