Song of the Sea

This painting expresses the terror of the abrupt changes of nature caused by an impending typhoon. The ocean is chorusing in grandeur, the sky is filled with rain, and the seagulls are charging against the wind. All of this seems to serve as a reminder to spiritual practitioners that they must stand bravely against the endless waves and stormy gusts of wind encountered on their spiritual journey.

Actually on this occasion, Master was experimenting with colors and trying the first strokes, but what transpired was unquestionably a success. The painting is both vivid and striking, full of power and beauty.
