Sentient Beings are all lifeforms on earth, including the small critters and inhabitors of the insect world, which are our equals in the eyes of the Buddha. The unfeeling beings are all other inanimate objects that comprise our land, the seas, the atmosphere right down to household items.
This week's arts lesson is on the "mountain and water" genre, in an attempt to capture the beauty, the harmony, and the serenity, of natural scenery. Like all efforts, we start from the basic units, the individual trees and rocks that in combination result in a breathless scene, though obviously my drawings do not do enough justice. But just let your imagination fill in the vision gaps, the scent, etc.
The individual tree elements.
The different rocks of varying shapes and sizes.
Still more rocks, in clusters.
And viola, a scenary, with with my Chinese calligraphy to boot.
And with the human presence (implied).

interesting, keep it up. very different than previous drawing but it is still elegant and I am looking forward to see more.
like the last pictures...seem like a very tranquil place to meditate in. :-)
Good job with the rocks! I think rocks are hard to paint--for me, anyway.
