The Buddha Walks Among Us

I've often heard it posited, "We wouldn't recognize Jesus if he walked among us." But I've never heard anyone wonder the same about the Buddha. Perhaps it's just because I live in the states, Texas no less. But as I worked on this piece, at first a sketch that quite resembled the Buddha as I think of him, then morphing into someone who would fit in quite well here in Austin, it made me wonder.

"The Buddha Walks Among Us"

And here it is on its miniature easel. 

 And if you're curious, this is my original sketch.
