There
are a lot of tiny violet wild flowers called Santa Lucia which cover
the whole slope of the Costa Rica Center. They stretch out beautifully
like waves in a violet ocean! The Supreme Master Ching Hai loved to
stroll around there. Time and time again, She couldn't help praising
this stunning beauty, which even an immaculately cultivated garden
could not compare with.
Initially,
the Supreme Master Ching Hai had selected a small tree to be included
in this picture. Feeling that this tree was too small for the composition,
She created the big bright red trees. Master said that it was not
necessary to always stick to the actual colors, as this could be too
dull and monotonous.
Take
a close look; the clouds seem to be rolling in the sky! It is not
easy to reproduce moving objects vividly, so Master was most delighted
after this painting was completed. It took Her many attempts before
She successfully blended the color of the flowers. It is said that
before, these flowers had not bloomed so beautifully, and that only
after Master came did they appear to be so much alive. They bloomed
so profusely as if to welcome Her arrival, all competing with each
other to please Master with their most beautiful poses.
