Portable "no Attempt To Possess" Sumi Oil - Abstract Painting ” By Marilyn Wells Cyber Monday Only [E7rt4FM0]

This Sumi e Oil Abstract Painting, 24“ x 20“, oil on canvas, unframed, was inspired by

“Only one who makes no attempt to possess it

cannot lose it.”

     -Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching 1850OBW

One of a series of oils in the Sumi style, this one is on canvas, and has the raw sense of immediacy that only sumi can give. They each are puzzles that require your brain to readjust what you thought to a new way of seeing. I love to share my way of aperspectival understanding and teach others how to find meaning in painting abstract sumi with me.

I paint my abstract sumi e from my heart and soul, not from my linear head way of being. And it’s a non dualistic vision of unity of us and the world, of us together as one people.

This is an aperspectival way of being in the world. This is what I understand and what I paint.

The canvas is the finest canvas available. Each one comes to you with a Certificate of Authenticity.
