creating a custom order

 
I have been painting this mandala for a special order, to try to match a previously sold one.... not sure I succeeded in making it a companion piece, but I am happy with it anyway...I have been taking photos of my mandalas when the lines are done before I paint, so that I can make up a mandala coloring book once I get a few more. I hope to offer it digitally on etsy then. we'll see.... 
 


Doodling with black pen
consuming minutes and mind
 

my meditation





 
 
and since, for some reason, I am on a streak of taking pictures of my short toes, I added another here as an afterthought. We had some wonderful warm rain here earlier this week....
 
 
Just the type of summer rain that makes you want to dance in it.....
 
Happy Paint Party Friday and hello all at Haiku my heart! Have a good week!

    I wish I could meditate like this...must be so peaceful and satisfying..loved these paintings.. beauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful these...

    A coincidence..when you will come to my haiku you may think I was inspired from some place in your page...yet..truth is that I always see my haiku in my mind's eye and create...

    That mandala is exquisite! The coloring book would be great.
    The toes. I didn't say anything last week for fear of being judged a pervert, but since you insist on these nude shots every week, I just have to say, "I love them!"


    Peace

    Very intricate design. I know how tedious and time consuming penwork can be. You have done a beautiful job. Sigh.....I wish I had short toes. I have claws.

    {{ i enjoy getting lost
    in your art*work !!

    i have recently become enamored
    with 'tonal tan' paper
    rather than white
    for drawing & inking ...
    then painting in
    with only shades of cream & brown ...

    have you ever tried this ??

    i go thru these phases ... }}
