Today I started day one of my 21 day live mandala painting in the Book Bin Bookstore window (downtown Corvallis, OR). Yesterday I set up the space. Today I drew out the mandala design. I’m using my mandala design called “Bangles”.
Here’s the blank canvas as of 6/13/09.

Here’s a close up of the canvas in the window.

Because I sketched it out with a light gray color pencil, it’s difficult to make out the design without getting up close. The mandala is 36″ in diameter. This is a view of the center up to the upper left edge (18″).

Tomorrow I start painting…I hope. I also start jury duty tomorrow…what timing!
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?
