oh midori, this is wonderful.
i love the way you keep the colours simple, can just enjoy the beauty of it,
it seeps into you as you gaze into the painting, it makes me feel a sense of peace and overall wellbeing. I think it’s very powerful when a painting can bring peace and feelings of wellness.

Beautiful. But isn’t the name of this deity usually spelled Kwannon? Or maybe that’s Chinese… although it is a fairly big phonetic jump from Avalokitesvara to Kannon!
Midori Furze replied
Hi, James!
I checked on the internet about the spelling.
You can spell Kannon or Kwannon. Chinese has some different spellings for them.
I’ve only seen some of the famous Kannon in Japan, but there are many different forms for them. Some has a lot of hands, some has a lot of faces, female forms and male forms etc,,,
