I paint with acrylics on watercolor paper, using the process of layering the paint and scratching back to reveal unique colors and textures in my paintings.
 
Autumn Buddha - The Buddha paintings were my earliest portraits.    A friend lent me her Buddha statue that she inherited from her mother-in-law, along with the her prayer beads which drape his shoulders. I liked the soft and peaceful look of this Buddha statue so I decided use it to paint this portrait.
