Enlightenment
When the clouds of the mind part, the truth is revealed and we see our original nature, which is Nature itself. We are of the same tissue as the world. This painting reflects that opening. In fact, unlike other paintings that show the parting clouds, this one has no clouds of delusion—only the radiant, open and free mind. The calligraphy is an old Zen saying: “The clouds part revealing the full moon.” This suggests that same radiance. I mixed sheng puerh tea with the pigment and ink when painting.
