This painting had a different process than I usually do. The portrait was inspired by a quick ball point pen sketch of a water fountain that I had done several months ago in a notebook. Later, as I was going through the notebook, I thought that it might make an interesting painting, so I enlarged the sketch, originally only 2" high. The fountain was a blueish-grey color, which worked well for the ball point drawing, but I thought I would add some color to the painting. So I worked with a limited palette of red, blue, and yellow to create " Buddha in Primary Colors".
