i sometimes listen to pema chodron audio tapes in the morning before painting to center myself. painting is also a form of meditation. being present with color, texture, collage and imagery. i like that. i think about what it would be like to visit pema's monastery in nova scotia... it kind of scares me to think about being quiet and meditating for so many hours in a day, but that's probably precisely why it would be good for me!
my meditation painting measures 18 inches by 18 inches painted with acrylic, silk-screen and collage on wood panel that is 1 1/2 inches thick, ready to hang. it's available here!

lovely painting =-)
good luck with the studio sale! i'm sure your paintings will sell like HOT CAKES! ;)
I love this piece, mati. Good luck at your studio sale! xx
I'm a fan of Pema's too. I live in Nova Scotia and was thinking of driving up to visit the Abbey sometime this month,I've always meant to. They have tours twice a day in the summer. A retreat would be nice but I think it might be quite daunting. Her birthday is coming up on the 14th, send her a message:)
