Kwan Yin Live

Shoshanah Dubiner challenges herself to spontaneously paint a very large image of Kwan Yin, the Buddhist Bodhisattva of Compassion, as a performance piece for a fundraiser of San Francisco Insight Meditation Community, a Buddhist sangha. She uses Chinese brushes and sumi ink on blank watercolor paper 4 feet wide and 6 feet high, with no preparatory sketches on the paper. The image was inspired by a famous Chinese wood carving of a seated Kwan Yin from Shanxi Province (A.D. 907-1125). Musical accompaniment by kirtan singer Sita Jamieson. The painting is completed in 5 minutes.

Dear PakDaeHan-

if you go to Google Images and search for "Kwan Yin Seated" you will find several statues of Kwan Yin in the exact pose that she is in my painting. Blessings to you.
