Whenever I work in only black, white and red, I wonder why I'm not doing it more often. This limited palette naturally gravitates me to a more 'zen' design and my only regret is that I've neglected my calligraphy training. There is an unhurried simplicity in the application and one could get into a meditative state (see note below).
A lovely little book I reference quite often is
"The Spirit of the Chinese Character" by Barbara Aria and Russell Eng Gon.
My "365 Days of Tao" tries to be a daily read,
and is incorporated into the end of my yoga practice.
"Stages" by Gillian St George
Acrylic on canvas sheet
8 x 8 matted to 12 x 12

That being said..... if I didn't have the country music radio playing I could say I was meditating while painting! However, as anyone who listens to country music knows, it is lively, repetitive and definitely NOT meditative!
Om and Namaste'
