Now that I finished the first side, it’s time to work on the other side of my Tlingit Salmon project. If you look closely you’ll see the light gray outline of the design.
Side 2: sketch form outline onto salmon
I start by painting in all the black areas.
Side 2: Paint in the black background
Then I paint the red areas.
Side 2: Paint in read areas
Then I paint in the green sections.

I then paint over the white areas. This allows me to clean up any rough edges. From this vantage point, it may be only slightly detectable.

Almost done. Once it dries I will add the thin black and red lines to finish it off.
My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
