An anonymous commentator made the following comment regarding this serene piece: You like mushrooms a lot, don't you? =)
On a more serious note, I painted this image while reading A Journey in Ladakh by Andrew Harvey. A travel book about one of the last places on earth where Tibetan Buddhist community survives. Or at least did in 1981 when the author traveled there. An interesting book about spiritual discovery and Tibetan Buddhist culture. The first part of the book is rather slow, but still nice, often describing the serene Himalayan scenery while traveling to Ladakh. In the second part, when the author meets the Rinpoche, the book really takes off. Here is one passage on Rinpoche's teaching the process of visualization:
"You will understand, slowly, and in slow stages, that Reality is a creation of the mind. You will understand it not with your intellect or even with your intuition, but practically, because you will be growing within you the power to alter Reality. You must work every day. You must not be discouraged if for many months you can visualize very little. What you are beginning is a journey into a different world, into an awareness of different reality; you cannot expect to make that journey quickly. Nor, in a sense, should you want to. "
Such mystical descriptions fueled my imagination while creating this image. I like reading mysticism because it induces wondrous feeling of mystery and awe... And perhaps that's its main purpose. Hope you like the image.

Excellent!!! Just enough contrast to define, yet so undefined in its possiblities. It leaves me wondering, what if? What would it be like to stand on the threshold of the universe. What would it be like to step beyond...
