353 – It’s All about the Dress Mandala

Ever since I first laid eyes on the phantasmagorical mixed media collages of Philomath artist Judith Sanders, I became one of her biggest fans. Wow! It first it may seem like this painting is overloaded and yet it’s so delightful to just be with it and take it all in.

347 – Lollipop Bush Mandala

I have been a big fan of Carolee Clark’s art since I first laid eyes on them. Hailing from our lovely Willamette Valley, Carolee creates energetic landscapes and delightful figure paintings that flow with vibrant colors and interesting shapes.

346 – Big Sunflower Mandala

I found this gorgeous mandala-like sunflower painting by a wonderful local artist friend, Debby Sundbaum-Sommers, of http://www.DebsArt.net. As well as painting beautifully warm and inviting watercolor landscapes, she also creates dramatic landscape prints.

345 – Muffin Tin Mandalas

Today’s MotD comes to us via yet another amazingly talented local artist, Agnes Barton Sabo, a.k.a. Betty Turbo! She creates these delightfully fun, retro art pieces, including this one, containing some delectable combination of food, whimsey and a very creative imagination. Can you see all the mandala shapes in this piece?

340 – Garden Delight Mandala

Corvallis potter extraordinaire, Cynthia Spencer, of Spencer Work in Clay, created this delightful stacking ceramic sculpture in sunset colors for the outdoors…bringing whimsey to the garden.

338 – Anemone Mandala

Can you see all the mandalas in this delightful painting?!?! Even the sheer curtains have little mandalas on them. I’m thrilled to showcase another amazing Willamette Valley (local) artist, Carrie Tasman and her piece entitled Anemone. I love her art and her use of bold, bright colors…the joy and whimsey that radiate from them, make my heart sing!

336 – Jennifer’s Hummingbird Mandala

Continuing with the “showcasing local artists” theme, today I share with you this delightful acrylic painting by Corvallis artist and gallery owner, Jennifer Lommers. I love her whimsical poppies that shine with life and whimsy, welcoming the hummingbird home. This is one of my favorite paintings of Jennifer’s.
