This is a Quan Yin textile picture Ive made for my mother.

Is Quan Yin also known sometimes as Guannon or Kannon? Rings a bell in my cavernous and dimly lit brain.
Anyway, it's great! I love the colour and texture of it. It feels alive and full of movement.
Quan Yin, Kwan Yin, Kuan Yin, Guanyin, Kannon, Kwannon (the first four are from Chinese, the last two from Japanese, and I believe she is most commonly referred to as Guanyin)--the bodhisattva of compassion or goddess of mercy.
Great painting, lotusblossom. I love the choice of subject.
