A solid bronze and gold gilt 20th century dancing White Tara statue with gemstone inlay, from Nepal.

THE GODDESS TARA The original bronze statue dating back to the 7th or 8th century A.D was found in the north-east of Lanka between Trincomalee and Batticaloa. Its total height is 143.75 cm or 56.6 inches.   Her right hand is in the gesture of vara mudra and her left hand is in the gesture of vitarka mudra. The marked contrast of the slender waist against heavy breasts and hips is the ideal of feminine beauty. The goddess, dignified and graceful in this manifestation, represents the chastity and virtue and the embodiment of love, compassion, and mercy. The statue has a high head-dress from which a jewel is missing. The statues of the Avalokitesvara have a cameo effigy of the Tathagata (Buddha) Amitabha in the head-dress in a similar location. This may have led to the popular identification of this statue as his consort, the goddess Tara, (http://lakdiva.org/tara/  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Tara)

I am a realist at heart, and enjoy interpreting realistic motifs in color and mood. My style includes traditional methods applied in a casual-realist manner usually a relatively thin underpainting, and using transparent glazes to enrich colors and shadows. Recently I have also been doing some new prints and paintings as mixed-media on paper and as direct original digital images. All images are copyright.
