Crow Mandala - Nina Ventra

198 – Crow Mandala

Artist friend and colleague, Nina Ventra, created this very powerful animal spirit mosaic sculpture, “Crow Mandala”, as part of her mandala series. I love the heavy earthiness of this piece along with bold use of colors and patterns, upon patterns. It looks like something you would find exploring Aztec or Mayan ruins.

196 – Pluto’s Heart Mandala

Yesterday an amazing thing happened…and it was 10 years and three-billion-miles in the making! NASA’s New Horizons did it’s closest flyby past the last known planet in our solar system: Pluto. And look what appeared around the back side: an area that looks like a heart. And for me, I can also see it as a white dove flapping its wings.

Sisters Mandala

195 – Sisters Mandala

My dear colouring friend, Michelle, is at it again with colouring mandalas. This time it’s the “Sisters” mandala from my Love and Light mandala coloring book. I always find her colourings to the delightful and insightful…so much so that I’ve showcased her colourings in previous MotD posts: 9, 15, 24, 86, 119, 142, 150, 159, 182.
