Amrita is a Sanskrit term for an elixir that grants immortality. In Hindu mythology the ambrosia comes from the churning of the sea, not from a tree. We are fortunate here since this implies it grows on trees.
Even more fortunate are those in Chicagoland, where this tree grows, in a tranquil and secluded park. The background was entirely digitally created and morphed over time. Mostly unseen in the background, but still affecting the image, is a photo of a valley shot from atop a mountain temple in Thailand.
Chicago artist Joe Kennedy uses the Surrealist technique called automatic drawing where no preconceived agenda is used and the subconscious is tapped to direct the work. Joe has had his work shown on the Today Show and has sold to CB2 nationally. All works are original and not to be reproduced without permission. The artist can be reached at joekennedyart@gmail.com
