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.

350 – Box of Cardinals Mandala

In continuing my focus to showcase local (to me) paper artist on the MotD, I present Jeanne Heywood, of Sage Leaf Designs, who handcrafts these amazing paper puzzle boxes. What’s cool about this particular piece is that each of the individual pieces within this is a box in and of itself. AND…you can re-arrange the boxes three different ways…hence the puzzle part. Even the cover to this box is a work of art.

349 – Raku Bowl Mandala

Corvallis painter and ceramic artist, Rebecca Arthur, created this beautiful mystical bowl. I love the mysteriousness of this piece. And get this…she paints with smoke and fire! Love the effect. I especially appreciate the “dot” on the right side with little light dots radiating out from it.

Here’s a fascination image created by Albany (oregon) photograph, Kurt Norlin, entitled “No Direction Home.” His process for this photo he describes as: mobile photography, photo expressionism, digital collage, iPod Touch, hipstamatic, circular+, snapseed.

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.
