Meditaiton by Picasso

This painting is one of my favorites. I could stare at it for hours! There's the beauty of the light and shadow tones, combined with the powerful emotions that gaze conjures up. Also, it teaches the importance of attentiveness to the Now and being fully present. Pablo Picasso. (Spanish, 1881-1973). Meditation (Contemplation). (late 1904). Watercolor and ink on paper, 14 1/2 x 10 1/2" (36.9 x 26.7 cm). Louise Reinhardt Smith Bequest. © 2007 Estate of Pablo Picasso / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
