This is the first painting of the Zen Garden series painted for the annual Artwalk festival downtown Sarnia this past June, these are larger paintings then usual ,which offered me a lot of freedom to paint in and helped express to me a powerful expression or feel that I hoped to capture with the presence of the large stone face in the guise of Buddha a bigger then life transcendence into the journey within, I was pleased with the overwhelming response I received at my booth where familiar friends and family came to visit and always a pleasure to meet new friends whom find appreciation or solace in my paintings, ...perhaps in today's rush and unpredictable world , we may still find truth and peace through natures beauty and meditative focus on being still, eternal gifts to help us on our journey .
