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!

323 – Guava Mandala

What a beautiful marriage of pink and green…given to us by our lovely Mother Nature. Cut in half horizontally, we see this perfectly round circle of fruit. Interestingly, the center also offers us a five-“petal” symmetrical mandala like structure…reminds me of a wild rose…and an asymmetrical seed pattern.

279 – City Square Mandala

Mandalma of “Mandal’arte ~ mandalas na natureza” on facebook, recently posted this photo of this large Nature mandala in a section of Lisbon, Portugal; a community project which she organized and facilitated. I love her art and how she paints with nature.

55 – Jackfruit Mandala

Up until February 7, 2015, I had yet to experience jackfruit. While participating in the Conscious Life Expo, in L.A. that fateful day, one of the food vendors offered vegetarian food. I was about to pass on them because I have trouble digesting tofu…thinking that that was the main ingredient for their Indian dish. Wrong! They use jackfruit. After a little bit of hesitancy, I opted to try it. Wow! Loved it!
