Today I fine-tuned the red floating shapes on the left side of the mandala. On the first layer I used naphtol red; for this layer I used quinacridone red which is a little bit brighter with more blue in it. That and dioxazine purple are the only two colors I used.
HEADS UP: I’ll be at the Corvallis Art Guild Clothesline Art Sale all day tomorrow (day 49). The plan is to have this painting on display at the sale. If I do, I’ll provide a photo. Day 50 I’ll be back to painting it again.
Here’s a close up of one of the red floaty things I painted today.

This photo shows the four red shapes that I fine-tuned today.
Four red shapes
And the full view. If you look closely you’ll see the four red shapdes on the right appear much flatter than the four shapes on the left. Before I paint the right side red shapes, I’ll be sure to take a before close-up photo so you can see better the difference.
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?
