Quan Yin with Three Dragonflies:




Item 7376782755


Quan Yin, the Buddhist goddess of compassion, against a luminous full moon. A dragonfly lights on one hand and she holds turquoise mala prayer beads in the other. A couple other dragonflies circle around. The night sky is in shades of lilac and lavender, deepening to purple. This feng shui mandala, part of the Zen modern art series (abstract landscapes in a contemporary Asian style), is an original acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas (the 3/4" staple-free sides are finished off in purple acrylic) and can be hung with just a nail. It has been lightly varnished to protect the paint and preserve the lustrous colors. The copyright watermark does not appear on the actual painting. You can also see the painting on my website.
