Enso Noble ~ Artist's Dream

Enso Noble by Casey Shannon
Sumi-e
Copyright ©  Casey Shannon Studio Art. All rights reserved

This is an artist's dream! I recently sold this beautiful sumi scroll of mine called "Enso Noble' to a Tae Kwon Do group in NJ. They were having a huge celebration for their master teacher, sensei. They had their party last Friday and just sent me these pictures. What an honor to have my work hanging in their dojang. I love seeing where my work will live and how much they appreciate it!

Inside the enso is a mountain, three trees, and three dots. There is not really a profound particular significance to the three trees and the three dots. Other than the number three is a beautiful esthetic number which I use in my paintings a lot. A gathering of three (birds, trees, dots, etc.) denotes beauty and simplicity to me.  It is sacred. It is oneness. It also signifies wholeness to me. This directly relates to the significance of the enso which among other things also signifies wholeness. The enso is a profound symbol in Zen. Mountains are very strong and noble. Hence, the title. 'Enso Noble'.

Enso Noble

Enso Noble
by Casey Shannon

How great is this? I just sold this original sumi-e called "Enso Noble" to a traditional taekwondo school in Madison, NJ. They are having a special event for their Sensei and giving my painting to him as a special gift. I am so pleased and honored. I am having the painting made into a hanging scroll for them. The event is in September 2017. Wow!

Video-Sumi e Landscape by Casey Shannon






Carmel and Carmel Valley Views
by Casey Shannon

Majestic landscapes inspired by the gorgeous Monterey Peninsula. This is the new sumi-e artwork coming from the Casey Shannon Studio this summer of 2013. I hope you enjoy my video. Turn on your volume for lovely music! Time: 3:30

The Monterey Peninsula, especially Carmel/Carmel Valley, is unbelievably beautiful and certainly inspiring for the artist. Here you will find, seascapes, Monterey Cypress, hills, mountains, oak trees,  wild grasses, and flowers that will dazzle your eye.  I think this area is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Please enjoy my artist interpretation of this magic!
