Mindful Eating Painting

This watercolor painting is from a photo I took at the Cleveland Zoo. It reminds me of the "Mindfulness" training described, in a series of books and tapes by Jon Kabat-Zinn on the art of meditation. Often used in Yoga, Pain Management, and Stress Therapy, "Mindfulness Meditation", teaches us to "accept things as they are, to free ourselves from limiting perspectives, and to become more intimate with our own boundless awareness". As in "Lesson 1, Mindful Eating", this Orangutang seems completely focused on the difficult task of finding his/her peanuts among the similarly colored grasses. When successful, he/she carefully examines the attributes of each nut then finally consumes the treat with joy and without judgment.
