I put in 90 minutes today, painting the blue and red background sections. For these two areas, I used quinacidrone red and ultramarine blue along with an acrlyic ‘spreader’ which allowed me to do more of a wash versus a thick slab of color.

With this full on view, you can make out the ‘white’ areas around the floating objects. Those bands around the objects and the areas inside the diamonds are next to be painted.

View from the sidewalk. Another plan is to extend the red, yellow, and blue backgrounds out to the edges of the canvas…at least that’s the plan for now.
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?
