Four Monks Walking on the Beach, 50×70 cm / 20×27 in.

70×50 cm – 20 x 27 in.
Original Acrylic on Canvas, 2017.

This painting is a variation on the same thema who is representing a memory from holidays on Thailand’s beach. I am a morning bird. I used to wait on the beach for the restaurant to open for having my breakfast. This scene is special. Monks do not go to the beach to relax as we do. Monks pass by, often very early morning, in order to collect offerings from residents. I enjoyed watching the scene for his beauty of colors, blue, yellow, orange, ochre. They are walking on the beach in line. Sometimes two or three Monks, and sometimes more.

What better way to start a day than filling yourself with the natural kindness of Buddhist villagers? Monks quickly collect some food after a few prayers to get back to the Pagoda before the big heat.
