The Rise of the Lotus

These lotus paintings are patterned after the drawings appearing on the covers of several Chinese Buddhist texts. They seem subdued in those settings and I have rendered them more vivid here to highlight the purity of mind that can emerge amidst the heady world that surrounds us, not the least perturbed by the turbid undercurrents.
