    A Portrait of Nishijima Roshi by Nengei (our Sangha Artist in Residence)

    JUNDO: I AM TAKING THE LIBERTY OF MOVING NENGEI's POST HERE, FROM OUR ART SECTION, SO THAT EVERYONE CAN APPRECIATE THE WORK. HAVING KNOWN NISHIJIMA ROSHI, I FEEL AS IF HE IS ABOUT TO STEP OFF THE CANVAS.

    I am pleased to post this finished (I think) portrait of someone dearly loved by all of us here at Treeleaf Zendo. I will post another photo after I frame it.

    At Tokei-in
    51x61cm (20x24inches), oils on strteched Belgian linen.




    Gassho,
    Nengei

      I like that.
      Might there be a print run?

                  Speechless!
                  Where can we order fine-art prints of this, Nengei?

                      For Zen students a weed is a treasure. With this attitude, whatever you do, life becomes an art.

                                      I do not think that we can charge for this picture, even if just to cover costs (or maybe just for actual printing costs and postage, but nothing more.)

                                          I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.
