Golden Eye Photograph by Florence Bennett, National Geographic Your Shot
British photographer, Florence Bennett, captured this fantastic shot of a chameleon as it very slowly headed towards a heat lamp. I love how its whole body displays itself in cool colors of greens and teals and yet his eye radiates with the warm golden color of the lamp. What an intriguing creature!
Along with its eye area and eyeball being mandalas, the chameleon’s skin is jam-packed with little orbs of texture…like pixels on a computer screen. It also reminds me of the Aborigine style of painting where they use only dots of color to create their amazing works of art.
Have you tried coloring with just dots (stippling)? It can be quite an intriguing effect.
Happy Coloring!

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?
