    Hermosa Lee Kwan has been a dear friend to me before redbubble. / this woman has gone above and beyond any expectation of true friendship. / not only does she post my flyers and comments on every site she is on, she actually ‘likes’ what i do. / always being there for me. / she is a wonderful artist/photogapher as well. / dear girl, you make me blush and inspire me so. / a simple thank you is not enough. / thank you so very much for buying my card. / this means more to me than you know.

  • Tae Kwan Do student. She earned her black belt (shodan) the day I finished this.

  • Look at the close up because that’s the point! Thank you. I submit that this is right for the thick black outlines group because the entire point of the design is for the t-shirt to act as one very thick black line around an almost invisible design. Which is why, also, this is both simple and witty! Yes?

  • Taken just at sun down these beautiful white statues taken a more beautiful and auspicious golden glow. Taken at the Chua Phat An Temple in Wichita Ks. / Chua Phat An is one of three Viet Namese Buddhist Temples in Wichita.

  • Kwan Yin statue reflecting in my pond.

  • Mystical manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, beloved Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion, maybe better known to the Chinese as Kwan Yin (Quan Yin), or as Kannon to the Japanese. This version shows 11 heads and 8 principal arms, no way i was going to attempt to draw the other 992 arms. Om Mani Padmi Hum, (The Jewel in the Lotus), mantra of Avalokiteshvara, is shown at the bottom in Tibetan script.

  • One of the deities most frequently seen on altars in China’s temples is Quan Yin (also spelled Kwan Yin, Kuanyin; in pinyin, Guanyin) In Sanskrit, her name is Padma-pâni, or “Born of the Lotus.” Quan Yin, alone among Buddhist gods, is loved rather than feared and is the model of Chinese beauty. One of the several stories surrounding Quan Yin is that she was a Buddhist who through great love and sacrifice during life, had earned the right to enter Nirvana after death. However, like Avlokiteshvara, while standing before the gates of Paradise she heard a cry of anguish from the earth below. Turning back to earth, she renounced her reward of bliss eternal but in its place found immortality in the hearts of the suffering. Quan Yin is a shortened form of a name that means One Who Sees and Hears the Cry from the Human World.

  • Medium: Oil on Canvas / Painting Title: Quan Yin, Jewel In the Lotus / Description: Quan Yin (Kwan Yin, Kuan Yin, Chenrezig in Tibetan; Kanzeon in Japanese; Avalokiteshwara in Sanscrit) represents the Manifestation of Compassion in the Universe, the spiritual quality one nurtures within oneself, and on a devotional level the compassionate help one seeks. Quan Yin transcends gender, and depictions may be male, female or have characteristics of both. This painting depicts Quan Yin pouring from a vase which holds the Waters of Compassion with her foot resting in the pool of knowledge. In the background, the dragon forms an infinity sign and is biting its tail forming an Ouroboros. She is intentionally positioned in the pose of “The Star” tarot card. The Willow tree, prayer beads, and the blue bird are all symbols of this deity.

  • Oil/Acrylic on canvas 2009 / 50cms width / 40cms height Original £425 / or buy a print! She lives There Among Soft Cotton Branches, / Her face watches out between the bamboo bright, / Her eyes of mercy calm us through the humbled night. There are lights in the movement of her footsteps, / her heart a mighty strength, / listen her singing soothes the children, / lost souls found again. Love is growing in her presence, / a magificent world to behold, / light like the new dawn becomming / shimmers of creation untold. Honest to God her promise, / her compassion is our guide. / Living in the eastern temple / the enchanted forest inside.
