Very beautiful painting! Full of colour, tranquillity and bliss.
As I can see, here Buddha looks more like the Indian Hindu gods.
I must say that I am used with having the specific “Chinese eyes” and other extreme-oriental anthropological features…
No it is not, there is a flaw in the way they painted, Buddha never expresses with that hand and fingers in the way it is portrayed here, it is more of a hindu god kind of expression. It is not appropriate portrait, or otherwise, it does not reflect Buddha in all respects.
If you differ, explain me what is the left hand position means and the right hand position means, give me one example where Buddha uses his finger position like the above depiction?, This is more of a hindu yoga position than Buddha’s way of sitting, in a meditative posture, Buddha’s leg does not cross this way as it is portrayed here.

Ofcourse any painting is beautiful, if you are looking for it in that manner, as far as it really reflect the subject, that is questionable?
BLESSED BY GOD.
I LOVE Siddhartha
