This painting was inspired by a trip to Bali last year. This beautiful country was full of stunning landscapes, the mist, rising off the paddy fields in the morning and the serenity of the mountains was breathtaking. The Balinese people are both Hindus and Buddhists and pray in beautiful temples scattered around the island. I was amazed by these wonders and their strong faith.
Several times a day before prayer, they would place these beautiful little floral offerings down outside their houses to give gratitude, and thanks.
I fell in love with this ritual, such a beautiful gesture in appreciation of life.
