262 – Tree Portal Mandala
I love everything about this gate: the mixed use of metal and wood, the mandala window, the tree with is filigree roots and branches, and it’s placement within the stone wall. The whole thing feels enchanted, that what we are about to experience when we enter will be magical.

South African artist, Lorraine Loots, creates these amazing miniature works of art which she affectionately calls “Paintings for Ants”. She’s been creating these minuscule paintings every day since January 1, 2013. Her art covers the whole gamut of subjects: musical instruments, animals, statues, galactic, plants, people and everything in between.

258 – Joy From Within Mandala
A wonderful customer of mine, Cindy Cloyd, painted this beautiful mandala in her art journal. I love her mixed use of symmetry and asymmetry and the beautiful flow of the design and colors. I also appreciate her free-form style with very little use of outline.
257 – Cathedral de Barcelona Mandala
This beautiful mandala resides on the facade of the Cathedral Basilica of Barcelona probably the most renowned “work in progress” on the planet. Pamela Unplugged visited Barcelona in 2013 and captured this great shot of the mandala above the main entrance to the cathedral. Actually her original photo captured the whole facade and because of the photo’s size, I could zero in on the mandala without loosing the quality of the image.
