A new gem in my collection of sacred art
I'm a practicing Buddhist with training as an artist & craftsperson, so it might not be surprising I've filled my home with beautiful examples of sacred art. When I saw this unusual, beautiful, painted carving of Buddha, I couldn't resist buying it to add to my collection & grace my home with it's lovely peaceful energy! And so, my dear Gung Gus, thank you so much for sharing your gift with me, & through me, to all who enter my home!

A Magical Work of Art
Find a work of art by Gung Gus and add it to your life. You will not be disappointed. Gung Gus is a true artist. His craft is sculpting and painting beautiful, inspiring and intricate works of art, which is a more and more rare set of skills to find. When my hand-carved and hand-painted item arrived and I carefully removed it from its lovely hand-wrapped, case, what was revealed was a sculpture that was beyond my wildest expectations from the photos. The sculpture is tranquil and gorgeous and made of a wonderful wood, and the scenery painted on it is so detailed and beautiful. I am amazed that so much skill in sculpting and painting are within one person.
Throughout the ups and downs of running my workshop, I’ve learned the importance of patience, integrity, and perseverance.
