The auction is delighted to once again have two visual interpretations of the Buddha from the hands of artist Carole Leslie.

"In Buddha's Garden" is done in acrylic and uses image transfer, bits of recycled prayer flags and hand stamping. On a deep 1 1/2" canvas, it is ready to hang. This work is meant to bring the revitalizing green of the garden and the serene presence of the Buddha into your living or work space. By creating an intention to refocus, a simple glance at a spiritual image such as this, can remind us, in moments of stress or confusion, to come back to what's really important in life.

Carole Leslie says that generally speaking it is an inclination toward simplicity that pushes her to try and integrate her practice and work, to paint Buddhas, to observe her process as she works. She gravitates toward mixed media, integrating script and words with images and colour.
