This pose is called downward facing scorpion, or Audho Muka Vrischikasana. It requires not only balance and flexibility, but a high degree of strength. To witness someone in this pose with a completely calm mind and open heart can be quite moving.

People are always amazed by these paintings because they can�t believe they were done on an iPhone! This painting was painted on my iPhone shortly after the brushes app came out in late 2008. It was an incredible time, the first time in history that artists could carry a full range of painting supplies in their pocket (on their smart phone). Artists such as David Hockney also started experimenting with the new medium. We were suddenly able to paint on a bus, in a park, or on a couch in the dark � whenever the inspiration struck.

It was both challenging and exhilarating to work, in those pre iPad days, on the iPhone's small screen. With a zoom function, I was able to layer a surprising amount of detail into the work. The painting detail looks great at the 8in x 12in print size.

I hope this painting provides you with both inspiration and joy. Or it might make a nice gift for someone who practices yoga.
