My name is Bill Buckley, and I would like to share with you my enthusiasm for painting. Through the forty years I have been painting I have found countless points of inspiration allowing me to work in various mediums. As a painter I work mostly in acrylics, oils and mixed media, but I also enjoy drawing, printmaking and sculpture. I am interested in contrast in colors, the geometry of lines and circles, and visual imagery. My influences are many, and include Picasso, Monet, Gauguin, Botticelli, Magritte, Hopper and Dali to name a few. Much of my subject matter comes from inner visions and dreams and looking at the world though an abstract eye. I have recently been painting more on location and I use the Martha's Vineyard scenery as inspiration.

Alan Brigish — Breathing In the Buddha
To purchase a copy of Alan Brigish's book, visit Breathing In the Buddha site >
The book tells two parallel stories. The first explores with images and extended captions, the daily life of people in four countries of Indochina. The second story is an exploration of the Buddha's Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path.
The intent is for the reader to explore Buddhist philosophy in the context of daily existence of people in the most densely populated part of the world that still practices Buddhism.
In order to explore how Buddhist daily life works in four countries of Indochina, the author visited a single city in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Then, exploring in more depth, he uncovered a well hidden gem filled with mystical people and magical places in a country called Burma (Myanmar).
