I present my coloring/painting of this week’s Mandala of the Week: Yarn (fromSunday’s MotD post). This one turned out quite bold and very primary in its colors. Only when I added the gel pen details did it all come together for me; prior to that it seemed a bit intense. I really like how the center came out…it looks like purple and green hands joined in a circle. All of which just reminds me to relax, let go, and trust in the flow.
I used Liquitex, M. Graham, and Golden acrylic paints, with a variety of gel pens for the details.
Soon I’ll be posting images of my progress through this painting on my ArtProgressions.com blog site.
Inspiration for Today
“I’ve always done things the hard way. I was born like a piece of tangled yarn. The job is trying to untangle it, and I’ll probably go on doing it for the rest of my life.” ~ Karen Allen
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?
