Here we have three views on the concept of lotus, a traditional side view, a top-down view, and an energetic view. The lotus often represents our awakened higher self as it evolves over time. Seeing it in all of its many aspects give us a chance to appreciate its seat of power, and its role in our lives on this earth. I chose these colors for their drama and their simultaneous ability to calm. I love the dichotomy. Bits of yellow highlight specific features and tie the price together horizontally.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 2022 oil-on-canvas painting (24 x 48 in) created for a lotus-themed guest cottage, presenting the lotus through three perspectives \u2014 a traditional side view, a top-down view, and an energetic view \u2014 as a symbol of the awakening higher self.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6062,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[19,22],"project_tag":[36,2069,1429,654,180,900,280,649,981,2052,947,1452,1857,977,489,309,1012,1248,655,112,302,186,979,978,284,980,605,332,1361,283],"series":[],"class_list":["post-6095","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-art","project_category-paintings","project_tag-art","project_tag-books","project_tag-business","project_tag-complete-connection","project_tag-connection","project_tag-consciousness","project_tag-cycle","project_tag-cycle-of-human-development","project_tag-finding-peace","project_tag-guided-meditations","project_tag-human-development","project_tag-lasting-peace","project_tag-lastingpeace-org","project_tag-life-optimization","project_tag-meditation","project_tag-money","project_tag-podcasts","project_tag-poetry","project_tag-purna-asatti","project_tag-relationships","project_tag-religion","project_tag-science","project_tag-seeing-yourself","project_tag-self-mastery","project_tag-self-development","project_tag-self-improvement-2","project_tag-self-understanding","project_tag-society","project_tag-spirituality","project_tag-stages"],"acf":{"recommend_blurb":"For anyone drawn to contemplative visual art, this piece meditates on the lotus as the awakening higher self.
