dwelling

I  have been putting my mandalas up on the wall at work to add some color to a boring wall and it has given me  chance to ponder and dwell on each piece instead of getting my work done. I catch myself sitting and staring at each piece and as a result, I never think they're done so I have gone back to a few older ones and added more, way more....



A before photo...

An after...




Another before...


and an after....





and here's a zentangle for a challenge at Iamthe Diva..



Of course I am linking to Paint party friday!!!! I hope to visit more sites from there this week...

    These are beautiful! Did you add all the extra patterns in pen or pencil - it seems so light...

    Andrea, you take my breath away.
    Seriously, your work is worthy of me feeling jealous...I have to admit.
    I LOVE what you do.
    Those sharpies are great, but they run dry so quickly.

    You hope someone enjoys your art? Your art is so incredibly fresh and original that it sings. I don't like it ~ I LOVE YOUR WORK! You have an amazing talent, your ladies are delightfully amusing, your mandalas are captivating and the way you use color is stunning. I hope that your full time job has something that incorporates your art. You should be seen by many, thank you for sharing. Now is where I want to invite you to my humble blog, maybe there will be something that catches your eye, or interests you. I would love to have you as a follower. Your newest fan and follower, Connie :)
