341 – Garden Gate Mandala

Check out this delightful garden gate art designed and collaboratively built by an amazing local metal artist, Karen Lee-Thompson, of Arts Imaginarium.

I’m happy to showcase yet another wonderful local artist. Corvallis jewelry maker and wire artist, Michael Swindle, of Loving Me … More

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!

337 – The Dance Mandala

I present to you another extraordinary local (to me) artist, Jeff Hess, who creates thought provoking, experiential art such as this one in which he captures light, spots of color, and water in action forming an instant in time where we see many mandalas in the making…either going into, out of, or just right into a circular shape. What an amazing image!

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.

335 – Mixed Metal Earrings Mandalas

Today’s MotD showcases another wonderful local artist, Linda J. Herd, of Albany, OR. She makes exquisite metal jewelry in a very bold, dramatic style. I find these beautiful earrings a wonderful example of creating a powerful expression of mandala art in a delicate size. These would be super fun to wear!
