Meditating Buddha watercolor

Another Christmas gift...for my wife to put into her meditation room. This was started about 8 months ago with a sketch of Buddha. Next, I drew a pencil outline of the buddha and painted just the background in a wet-on-wet style.Then it sat for about 6 months.  One of the reasons I've been practicing portraits is so I could feel confident in finishing this piece.  The hands are still the part that trips me up, and these where in a particularly challenging position. This is one of those paintings that I could continue tweeking, but at some point I had to say I was finished.
