Mandala to Energize the Mind

This Mandala was created by painting Silks Acrylics and gel pens on Black Gessoed paper.  This one has a lot of shine and is energizing to the mind.

This is a Mandala created with Twinkling H2O watercolors on watercolor paper.

I am taking an Online class called Wisdom Circles with Dion Dior.  She is great inspiration. 

I love to see what wants to emerge through meditation and the dance of color on paper.  I let the design and colors lead me, so each piece is a surprise ready to unfold.  I am always amazed how powerful Mandalas are.

One stencil creating 2 completely different looks.  

I really enjoy using heavy gel medium in my art.  I have been making some stencils to use with gel medium to get more dimension in my art. Each was created using acrylic paint, Silks, and stencils.

This Mandala was created using Twinkling H2O paint and a gold gel pen.  I love how the mica shines so bright on the black paper.  

The Dance of a Mandala

This Mandala was created using Micron pens, Luminarte Silks and Twinkling H2O's on 140 Ib watercolor paper.  I wish the photograph could capture how much it glistens.
Mandalas are so magical.  As you gaze at them, they come to life.  The design dances, the colors move, and new colors emerge and bounce off the page.
Enjoy and see what this Mandala has to offer you!
