Bodhissattva of Compassion commission

I mailed off this commission last week to Indianapolis and I thought it was a success. This image of the Bodhissattva of Compassion was a little challenging because I wanted to avoid some of the cliched imagery that comes with spiritual artwork. I was given some images of ancient statues and stories explaining some of the symbolism and how it is portrayed differently in India versus China, to name just two countries. This is an oil painting on 16x20 canvas.
