Each week while in my booth at the Corvallis Indoor Winter Market, I’ll be painting that month’s Mandala of the Month. On opening day, January 11, 2014, I began painting the January 2014 mandala of the month (“confidence”). Here’s a slide show of my progress from that day.
For this painting, I’m using Derwents Inktense watercolor blocks on 90lb watercolor paper. I dip a w/c brush into some water and then apply to a color block, once on the brush, I put paint down on the paper. It’s a great, portable way to paint with watercolors w/o all the mess of paint tubes and palettes.
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?
