Comment on Drawing the Female Buddha by Carol Steinberg

Yes, I think I get that. But it isn’t my cup of tea–as it doesn’t interest me the way the other does. But I also see value in developing a more mindful approach to my art. I just don’t want to copy other people’s designs–and my drawing skills are more about capturing the “spirit of the pose” as one of my teachers calls it than rendering details using a grid. I don’t know exactly what you mean by “there is no freedom in nature” but maintaining rigid control during art is not really art to me. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

first i came across your image while searching for reference for a thanka drawing i want to do to hang on the wall of my training area.

you have a really fantastic quality to your lines. very flowing.

secondly the reason for the rigidity of the work is that the process is not meant to be on of self expression but more self exploration. one of the key elements of life is that there is no freedom in nature. by undertaking a specific process of creating such an image, the mind will naturally experience certain mental states that arise and pass completely on their own, so through this process, one can hopefully come to recognize that “I” am not my feelings, which come and go on their own, and thereby overcome them and not allow them to move the mind in one direction or another. this type of drawing is another form of meditation, or mindfulness practice, which basically flies in the face of our western concept of what art should be about.

That would’ve been nice Marian. I might have traded him for roses too–a lot of roses!

Hey Mz. Carol!
I love your art so much!! Never got to hook up in L.A. last Christmas, but will be there permanently one day soon and look forward to enjoying your art. Something about your white flowers just thrills me. I love white roses. I think if you ever do gardenias or white camellias, they will have to end up on my wall!

Your blog entries are just wonderful. Once a member of the BBC, always a member and definitely a friend.
