The Three Vinegar Tasters print of my original painting that would be very interesting for your zen office, zen decor, dojo, meditation space. It pictures Buddha, Confucius and Lao Tzu sampling a pot of vinegar. The Chinese painting is one of the most popular paintings related to Taoism. It was made even more famous when the book "Tao of Pooh" mentioned this piece of art. To Confucius, life is sour, not like the old days. To Buddha, life is bitter. Accept that suffering is normal and get on the 8-fold path to gain release from suffering. To Lao Tzu, life is sweet, Enjoy the moment, rejoice in the way things are. Makes a good gift - Perfect for our times.

Original Zen painting is a unique form of art. Sumi ink starts as a solid stick of charcoal and is traditionally ground on a special stone with water to produce the black ink. Zen art is bold, energetic and direct, depicting an image with a few strokes of the brush to capture and express the essence or spirit of the moment.
