Bobbie Dyar Art: Flower of Peace and Eternal Love

This Bold, Exciting, and Colorful Masterpiece is a Pleasure for the Eyes and Spirit

This painting is very special to me I wasn't very artistic as a child yet this Eternal Flower often appeared on my school work and doodles. Once started it would expand to cover the paper and any open space around. It gave me feelings of Peace, Serenity, and Happiness in some of my darkest times.

Flower of Peace and Eternal Love is symbolic of numerous things. The rich bold colors represent diversity and equality. The eight center petals remind of the Buddhist 8 fold path to enlightenment. The Eightfold Path consists of eight practices: right view, right resolve, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right samadhi ('meditative absorption or union'). The flower itself is never ending representing the Eternal Nature of Energy and Love.

I have often used this image to help me focus during meditation. The center yellow circle being a powerful element holding together the unlimited petals. Remaining constant with the ever changing diversity and creation of new arrays of petals.

I feel certain there are several aspects of this painting I can simply not find the words to describe. It speaks to my Spirit and inner Soul in a way that is impossible for me to explain.

I have created a number of variations of this Flower of Peace and Eternal Love each expressing it's own meaning while maintaining the constant theme of Inner Peace, Energy and Love Eternal.

I hope this painting brings you and those around you a sense of calmness, happiness, purity, peace and serenity.
