Mandala created in photoshop in layers.The word mandala was originally Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, which is said to be the original language of the world and the foundation for all following languages. It simply means a circle. A beautiful word for a simple form that has such a magical effect. Paul Heussenstamm has written on his wonderful website ...
" A mandala can guide one toward self-realization and introspective self-therapy beyond any other art form. It becomes a self-teacher, offering messages and enlightenment. Creating a
mandala allows artists to get in touch with their own mysteries, their own deep beliefs. The art comes from the personal and realizes the transpersonal, a tremendously powerful exercise."
It feels so natural for me to work within the space of the humble and never ending circle.
Why not jump in and give it a try and see what happens if you are new to them :-)
