THE ORIGIN OF ALL THINGS

Title: THE ORIGIN OF ALL THINGS
Description: This Original Painting is based on the 1st Verse of the Tao Te Ching which has been translated many times since it was written by Lao Tzu in around 500BC. I have read 4 different translations of it and this is a mixture of 2 of them that I feel explains it. This will be printed on Coloured card to compliment the Artwork & the Painting also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. THE ORIGIN OF ALL THINGS The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao, the name that can be named is not the eternal name; Tao is both named and nameless; Nameless it is the origin of all things, Named it is the Mother of 10,000 things. A mind that is free from thought merged within itself, beholds the essence of Tao; A mind that is full of thought Identified with its own perceptions; beholds the mere forms of this world. Tao and this world are one and the same, The only difference is what we call them. Ever desire less one sees only the mystery, Ever desiring one sees only the manifestations; The mystery itself is the key to all understanding. The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao, the name that can be named is not the eternal name; Tao is both named and nameless; Nameless it is the origin of all things, Named it is the Mother of 10,000 things.

Artist Biography:

Im Juliette Westbrook- Finch, Artist & Poet and born in the 60's, child of the Universe. You can sign up for my monthly email newsletters on my website to receive Special Offers, News of New Art and any magazine articles I will be in Most of my paintings have a poem to accompany them which will be printed out on coloured card to compliment the painting and framed paintings have coloured backgrounds instead of the usual white or ivory , and in some cases where more than one colour would look good with the painting you can choose which you prefer by messaging me when you purchase. I paint using watercolors but not in the traditional way. I create texture So it looks like oil painting and /or I paint so that the paint is thicker and the colours are brighter and bolder although I sometimes paint in the traditional 'wishy washy' watercolour way! I use 300g Daler Rowney or Winsor & Newton 140lb Watercolour paper and professional quality paints (Windsor and Newton Pro -high pigment and st. Petersburg white Nights watercolor tubes which contain gum Arabic and honey, they go on smoothly and the pigments are the highest quality. I also use a medium Viscosity paint as well which has good transparency and tinting strength. My Paintings are either on 300g Watercolour Paper, Crescent Watercolour Boards or Frisk Canvas which are specially formulated for watercolour painting) If theres anything you like, I'm always open to reasonable offers :-)
