BLOGGER TEMPLATES AND TWITTER BACKGROUNDS

A Burmese sculpture.

    When I was in high school, I had friends who're very talented in art. They were my teacher as well. They used to sketch  animals, or traditional spirits rather than landscape or other kind of stuffs.
    One of the figures was '' Manuthiha '' . It's like Sphinx around the Pyramid of Khafre. Manuthiha is depicted on the corners of Buddhist stupas, and its legends tell how it was created by Buddhist monks to protect a new-born royal baby from being devoured by ogresses.





    I just got an idea to create an art work which will express all the versions of Manuthiha from different countries. But I would prefer to paint only Burmese Manuthiha. I have got some photos to sketch.
