Here's a new painting to celebrate the beginning of 2013. It's a 14"x19" watercolor using French Ultramarine Blue, Turquoise, Aureolin, Quinacridone red and Magenta, Opera Rose and Winsor Violet. I was inspired by the 40 Arts West call for submission for a show that will combine the healing arts and artwork with a spiritual flair. It's the first time I've created a painting with a show in mind and will submit 3 pieces.
Mandala means sacred circle in Sanskrit, and it can be inspiring and delightful to paint a Mandala. By starting in the center and allowing the painting and creativity to take you where it leads, you never know where you are going. During the process you have to trust your instincts and decisions and watch what unfolds. What a great metaphor for life!
