Peaceful Pause

14x14” Mixed media acrylic painting on stretched canvas

The comparison of the human mind to a monkey is often made because of our tendency to experience a restless and wandering stream of thoughts. We may be easily distracted, overthink, and generate unnecessary worries, similar to how monkeys swing from branch to branch in a seemingly haphazard manner.

In this stylized tranquil painting of a serene sleepy monkey, we learn the importance of calming our minds from its relentless chatter. Just like the contented primate, we can find inner peace and clarity through moments of stillness and mindfulness. Embrace tranquility amidst life's chaos and discover the power of a calm and centered mind.
