Lime green and purple

I couldn't help but do another mandala this week, it's the most calming thing to paint for me... no rules really, no expected outcome, just experimenting... it's just hard to know when to quit...






 
 And  I doodled a girl in my sketchbook as well...
 

 

 
And here's tiny turtle to say hello...I was going to sketch him but never got to it because after putting the mandala up on the wall and staring at it ... I realized it needed more payne's gray (even though I am trying to stay away from black lines... my mandalas are more lighter and looser than last year, I still couldn't resist, it just didn't look done) and I hadn't actually done the bit of orange evenly...
 So here's the final mandala with more added bits and more contrast...
Oh and I did measure... it's 14x17"
 
 
Happy Summer of Color week 3!

    Andrea this is just stunning - I love all that shading, makes it just pop off the screen. Your girl is gorgeous too and it looks like you even dressed for the colours in your turtle pic! :D

    Gorgeous mandala. I think it did need more darkness--or, I should say, that after I saw what you did to it I agreed with you. ;) Lovely girl, too. And darling little turtle!! :)
