Bhutan - My Shangri La Paradise
In
this Bhutan web presentation, I have included for the reader's benefit the
full background narrative instead of the slimmed-down version used in the
previous four examples of the regional features. In addition I provided
a different composition and finished painting the unique apparel that each
individual is wearing, instead of only an image of the clothing because
of my premiere opening time constraints.Surrounded
by the dramatic Himalayan mountains of Tibet to the north and India to the
south, this little nation, known as the land of the "peaceful dragon",
has produced a fiercely independent, self-sufficient people.

"No race, ethnic or religious group, possesses a superior awareness or intelligence over any other on this miniature earth in the limitless space of our Universe. With only different modes and levels of opportunity, we are all children of a common family learning through a similar preschool curriculum the expression of living and giving."
