Carefully, the samurai descends the steps leading to the temple. The bonz haircut betrays a more pronounced embrace of the Zen path. The cold surrounding landscape, the coldness of the stones or lanterns on which the muscle shines, are counterbalanced by the strong but faded red of the torii and his clothing. Although the bird climbed on the lantern tries to enter into dialogue with him, although he carries a fan in his right hand, his left hand tense on the hilt of the katana indicates a tension, the samurai is attentive to the slightest hostile sign. Ready to die, reconciled with his life, but still knowing how to contemplate this gradual transition to autumn. Everything is in a fragile balance, between life and death, between summer and autumn, between hot and cold (which is also found in the colors of the composition).

Nicolae thank you for this very interesting thread, the images of the first post gave me a zen start of the day. The figure with its base look just fantastic. With your magic sprinkled on it will look so cool. Are those stone bird houses on the pedestals? The moss must be fun to paint.
From a soot blackened Viking warrior to a Zen scene, it's all possible in our hobby!
Have a blast my friend, and keep us posted.

Hi Jim,
I'm sure you'll feel very confortably with this great guys. You're too kind, I work when I get some free time, not very lucky in the last years, that's why my projects are advancing with some difficulties. On the other hand, if I don't feel something right, I prefer not to move forward. There are times when I had to take a break to find the best solutions. Feel free to ask anything you are interested in or remind me to offer more details about different phases. My warm thanks too, have fun and enjoy your projects here! Nicolae

Yet more great work Nico. Last week was the best time over our woods for all of the lovely colours in the leaves. What does the AK liquid protection do to the real leaves you have cut? Keep it up, regards Jed

Dear friends, I hope you are all safe and healthy. Please accept my appologies for such silence, I have not time to work to this project, I had a lot of work and some healthy problems. But, with God help, we come back to what give us meaning and joy in this life. I hope these photos will bring you joy, the project looks better in reality, sorry for the quality of the photos. All I still have to do is to paint the samurai and to make some close detailing, as I wish to put all elements in harmony. Have fun and joy with your projects, don't ever give up to hope and goodness! Nicolae
