This was done on different paper. It was very thick and rigid and I’ve never used it before. I think it was watercolor paper, but it’s been years so I don’t remember. At any rate, I did manage to put in a number of kitties!! The original is sold and in a private collection. Photographic reference from R. Groszmann, amongst others. Completed 1999

Second in a set of two paintings depicting Turkish ‘Whirling Dervishes’. / This painting is available for sale 70×50cm acrylic paint on canvas. Bubble mail me if you are interested! Adapted from Amedeo Preziosi – Turks here / The original work of art is in the Public Domain because of its age. A link to the origins and history of this religious group can be found here From wikimedia here Sufi whirling (or Sufi spinning), (Arabic: رقص سماع) is a turning meditation that originated among Sufis, which is still practiced by the Dervishes of the Mevlevi order. It is a symbolic ritual through which dervishes (also called semazens) aim to reach the “perfect” (kemal). The aim is to abandon one’s nafs, egos or personal desires, by listening to God and the music (hence the term sema), thinking about God and whirling which has been compared to the orbiting of the planets in the Solar System around the sun. As explained by Sufis: In the symbolism of the Sema ritual, the semazen’s camel’s hair hat (sikke) represents the tombstone of the ego; his wide, white skirt represents the ego’s shroud. By removing his black cloak, he is spiritually reborn to the truth. At the beginning of the Sema, by holding his arms crosswise, the semazen appears to represent the number one, thus testifying to God’s unity. While whirling, his arms are open: his right arm is directed to the sky, ready to receive God’s beneficence; his left hand, upon which his eyes are fastened, is turned toward the earth. The semazen conveys God’s spiritual gift to those who are witnessing the Sema. Revolving from right to left around the heart, the semazen embraces all humanity with love. The human being has been created with love in order to love. Mevlâna Jalâluddîn Rumi says, “All loves are a bridge to Divine love. Yet, those who have not had a taste of it do not know!” More products available ACRYLIC ART CALENDARS CARDS POETRY PHOTOGRAPHY – ANIMALS PHOTOGRAPHY -CANDID SHOTS PHOTOGRAPHY – CATS AND DOGS PHOTOGRAPHY – CONTEMPORARY WORK PHOTOGRAPHY – FLOWERS PHOTOGRAPHY – INSECTS PHOTOGRAPHY – TRADITIONALLY TURKISH PHOTOGRAPHY – TREE AND TREE PARTS T-SHİRTS Why not follow me on / or join me at More products available An acrylic painting 40×40cm based upon a photograph in the Public Domain here This media file is in the public domain in the United States.
