New Japanese Lotus Art
Cedar Lee January 15th, 2009
I’ve finally finished a huge project I’ve been working on for the past couple of weeks–3 new paintings for my Lotus art series. Unlike the others in the series, these are much larger paintings.
They are all oil on canvas, 30″ x 30″
Lotus X
Lotus XI
Lotus XII
This picture of me with Lotus XI shows the large scale of the artwork:
If you have a very large wall (8-9 feet of uninterrupted space) you can hang them all in a row, like this:
But these pieces are each visually striking on their own, and can be hung on any wall by themselves.
Today I received a Thai massage from a friend of mine who is a massage therapist. Thai massage is different from the Swedish massage I’m used to. She pulled my arms and legs into various gentle stretches, and even walked on my back! It was just what I needed, and left me feeling relaxed and stress-free. I highly recommend it!
All next week, I’ll be taking part in an online event for professional artists called the smARTist Telesummit. It’s similar to any convention for professionals in a field, but instead of being held in a convention center, it’s held online. A panel of experts will communicate with the artists via web-casts, very large conference calls, and downloadable documents and audio recordings. The experts know things about art law & taxes, corporate art, social media, entrepreneurial marketing, portfolio presentation, cultivating business relationships, etc.
I’ll probably learn some new things, and even if not, I’m sure to be inspired towards greater action, and to meet some interesting people!
