Hotai series

I worked on this on Wednesday. I needed some companion pieces for the 16x20 Hotai, so I did him looking at a Cardinal. Need to stamp my dragon and name on him. I need another view which will be a side view. I still have not mastered the acrylic. I have to layer too much. Like my oils much better.

Hotai the laughing Buddha

This was a 16x20 done in acrylic for a show, where 2 8x10s will accompany it. It was done from a four inch statue of Hotai, my favorite little guy! I rub his belly daily and he inspires me to laugh every day. That is what inspired me. I am challenging myself to work in acrylic. I do much prefer oils.
