Thanks, Gary. Salt or sugar?

That looks magnificent, Fred.
Must have taken a long time to complete.

It looks great even on .jpg and so will be just better in printed.

It is very beautiful, good to look on it again and again, also the colours seem in some special balance so it not only comes from the symmetry of the drawing

Thanks all for the replies

. This is how it looks after completion as a traditional thangka.

If you like to see how it is assembled, have a look at Making the thangka of Avalokiteshvara.

There was a reason I had to finish this particularly thangka on time. This photo was taken in the suite of HH the 14th Dalai Lama, during his visit to The Netherlands from 10 to 12 May, 2014.
This was the view from his dinner table while he was having breakfast and lunch. (He does not have dinner, only two meals a day.)

The thangka was offered to him as a gift and is probably in Dharmsala now
