Prismacolor art markers on archival paper.
In 2009, an intuitive told me: "You are an artist. If you don't do art, you will die." This surprised me no end because, in my family of origin, my sister had obvious talent and was labeled "the artistic one." Though I enjoyed art, I'd never before identified myself, or been identified by anyone else, as an artist. Immediately, knowing nothing about art materials or technique, I bought some art supplies and started making art. This is one of those first efforts, a series of mandalas. Interestingly, in studies of children's artistic development, the first shapes they express, across cultures, is the circle. So I suppose, in the mandalas, I was recapitulating the stages in my own artistic development. The circle shape had quite a grip on me. Hard to say whether I was making the mandalas, or they were expressing themselves through me. It felt like the latter.
Friends, I've been so busy with the many tasks required to stay alive that there hasn't been much energy or time recently for making new photos. So, to let you know I'm still in the game, I pulled this image out of my art archives. I hope to get back to posting new photos soon. ♥
I was thinking about my challenge for 2013 project way too long and my clay-break in December had done it's job - i could make nothing at all. One of my best friends suggested me to make mandala elephants and i did. I got my peace back, cause to make such an elephant it takes lots of hours (because of the detail size, my elephants still are the same size: 3 x 4 cm), patience and some more patience. Here's the result!

Bought my daughter this colouring book for Christmas, and now I'm using it! Never though I would be doing this outside of a nursing home, but I'm finding it very calming during these long days staying around the house,
"A mandala, which is Sanskrit for “circle” or “discoid object,” is a geometric design that holds a great deal of symbolism in Hindu and Buddhist cultures. Mandalas are believed to represent different aspects of the universe and are used as instruments of meditation and symbols of prayer most notably in China, Japan, and Tibet"

Image distorted with MGI PhotoSuite III SE and double mirror view composed and stitched with Paint of Windows from an original of my own. EXIF data were lost when distortions made.
This is a mandala, a symbol for movement from suffering into peace and health, for all of my Moab friends and their families as we head into a belated tourist season with a hitchhiker tourist whose unseen presence threatens us all. Stay safe and stay well.
In my pursuit of Mindfulness I make a lot of use of making and using Mandalas. I will be sharing these on here. I start with a drawing of Black and White and then use colouring them in combinations of colours that aid calm.
I am happy to supply people with a desire to colour the monochrome Mandalas for you to colour in a range of colour combinations.To request any Monochrome Mandalas to work with just contact me on my Portfolio Website Contact Page :-

“A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Asian cultures. It can be understood in two different ways: externally as a visual representation of the universe or internally as a guide for several practices that take place in many Asian traditions, including meditation. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the belief is that by entering the mandala and proceeding towards its center, you are guided through the cosmic process of transforming the universe from one of suffering into one of joy and happiness”
"The continual stream of new discovery, revelation and inspiration which arises at every moment is the manifestation of our clarity. We should learn to see everyday life as mandala - the luminous fringes of experience which radiate spontaneously from the empty nature of our being. The aspects of our mandala are the day-to-day objects of our life experience moving in the dance or play of the universe. By this symbolism the inner teacher reveals the profound and ultimate significance of being. Therefore we should be natural and spontaneous, accepting and learning from everything. This enables us to see the ironic and amusing side of events that usually irritate us.”—Diego Khyentse RInpoche
“If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”—Roald Dahl
“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for.”—Georgia O’Keefe
“Everybody should have his personal sounds to listen for - sounds that will make him exhilarated and alive or quite and calm.... One of the greatest sounds of them all - and to me it is a sound - is utter, complete silence.”—Andre Kostelanetz
Fotot taget genom skulpturen Mandala som står vid Stora Nygatan, Göteborg, på platsen för den sedan länge rivna Bastionen Carolus Nonus (IX) Rex vid vallgraven. Bortom skulpturen ses Drottningtorget och Posthotellet.
The photo is taken through the sculpture Mandala, standing by the street Stora Nygatan in Gothenburg on the remains of the old bastion Carolus Nonus (IX) Rex from fortified Gothenburg, by the moat surrounding the old city. Beyond the sculpture is the big square Drottningtorget and Clarion Hotel Post.
