Mandalas

Happy New Year to all! I can't believe that I haven't posted anything since November!
Since the holidays, I have been teaching grade school children about mandalas. I find it challenging to paint in a circle or square format and enjoy the meditative aspect of mandalas. The children and I are learning about mandalas in different culture, learning about "sacred geometry" and "story mandalas", as well as learning about shapes, design, and color.
In my "spare" time I have begun a spatter painting watercolor landscape and have almost completes a paper collage. Fun!
