ARTS: Konoha Gallery

[Nengei]

Greetings, artistic Sangha,

Welcome to the Konoha Gallery! This thread is an ongoing place for you to show us your creative, two-dimensional works. Paintings, drawings, digital images; basically, if you created it by moving something like a pencil or a brush or a stylus across a flat surface, please put it here for your Sangha to enjoy and (positively) comment on. We really do want to see it!

Any painting or drawing, whether created as a zenga (a Zen, sumi-e ink painting or calligraphy; the classic example is an enso), a modern abstract painting, or a quick sketch for your kid's lunch bag, they all deserve attention here. The rule is that you must be the person who created what you post in this thread. It is totally fine for you to post your copy of another artist's work, usually accompanied by "With apologies to [Michelangelo]" or "after Caravaggio's Supper at Emmaus."

A note on comments: Please feel at liberty to express your appreciation and encouragement for other's work. Please do not feel at liberty to critique, offer advice, or instruct. This is a zone of encouragement.

To prove that any level of work is welcome here, I offer an early Nengei original:

And to restore your eyes, I will offer a later painting:

Gassho,
