Signed Folk Art Painting of Thai Golden Lotus Blossoms, "Peaceful Lotus III"

Glowing in the night, golden lotus blossoms reveal elegant textures. Saisunee portrays the flowers in different stages of development. Some are buds while some are full-blown and beginning to fade. Buddha taught that all living creatures exist within the cycle of life – birth, age, death – but a wholesome existence guided by proper understanding, contemplation and concentration releases one.
