This was the angle from which the painting was created. In actuality, my intention was to paint an abstract of the Devanagari prose rendering of "om":

Somehow, it looked better when placed on its end. Basically, the blending of paint seemed to resemble a rising sun over a chaotic, or even primordial landscape--or maybe just in the imagination. As such, it seemed a better, even more intuitively appropriate abstraction of the intended symbol! Of course, the portion shown here only shows about 70% of the actual baseletter in the older typeset, "a" (and only about 60% of the picture was scanned). Inadvertently, then, Vedavid joins the "inverted homepage image club" of www indology!
