Jomsom Srivatsa
2002, acrylic on canvas, 30 x 36", by Jenny Badger Sultan
Jomsom Srivatsa began with a loosely painted landscape from a drawing I had done in the mountains in Jomsom, Nepal. I overlaid it with the Srivatsa, or endless knot, one of the eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism. I saw the Srivatsa repeatedly in Nepal, often appliqued on the cloth door hangings.
