5. ‘Buddha’ medium oil – a painting by Sumita


Buddha as a concept has appealed to every artist at some point or the other. The main challenge in painting the Buddha is to catch the serenity of expression. In this painting the flora as the background brings to mind the Bodhi Tree and also the fact that an enlightened being is one with Nature as also the Universe. Getting the hint of a smile took some doing. I have used some texturing for Buddha’s crown and the leaves to give it a lift.


Making it like this could look good too.
