Small Buddha Face Painting (Indonesia)
This piece hangs on a chocolate wall which enables the cooling turquoise colors to really pop. While I was unable to take advantage of the larger size, I am pleased with the dimensions since the whole piece is just the half of the face. The close up of the face really weights the piece and enables one to take it all in and pay attention to the art and not the size. Don't misunderstand - the artwork is not small. I was just originally out for something larger to accomodate nine foot ceilings and am pleased with how well this purchase turned out.
The texture, due to it being an oil paining on canvas, is really nice! Despite being something ordered off the interent and not being a one of a kind piece, it really will give you the feeling that you have a gallery show piece in your home. You cannot tell from the online photo, but the artist made use of some gold paint that is subtle; makes certain parts seem to shimmer. The shading around the eyes, nose and mouth do not appear as flat in person as they do in the photo.
