Patience 06-34 is part of an ongoing series inspired by Chapter 15 of the Tao Te Ching and the passage "Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?" 06 represents the number of months it took to paint this piece and 34 is the number of layers. Painted with watercolor for its delicate transparency.
