Love Meditations
Acrylic On Canvas
Concept: Ophelia having some solitude, she’s meditating on what love is all about…love between lovers, between friends, between parents and children, between teacher and students, between owners and their pets and etc….the greatest love is when one is willing to lay down his/her life(others-seeking and not self-seeking) for another person whom he/she loves. While painting this, it also reminds me of a famous chinese love tale, “The Butterfly Lovers”....thus a pair of butterflies. It is a tragic tale about how a couple could only find their love bliss after they pass on and both became butterflies.I’m contented to have found my bliss :D

It’s so beautiful and bright, the colors.. i love all the hearts beneath her.. and the 2 butterflies around her.. it’s so coincidental, i was just telling Sinli how i love the story and song of The Butterfly Lovers!!

Such an uplifting image Ellen! I love all those vibrant colours, but at the same time the way that Ophelia is enjoying some quiet time… I wish I could be more like that sometimes… just ignore what’s going on around me and meditate…
