The "Shine On" Mandala - Installation #4
I spent almost two hours on this yesterday and was able to paint the blue stripes, some shading on the yellow stripes, and shading on the vermilion stripes.
When I started painting in the blues, the color combinations in the stripes looked like something I've seen in Egyptian tombs and temples. While the overall look of this mandala is hardly Egyptian, I find it interesting that it has an Egyptian component.
Thus far this mandala has a strong portal feel to me. The green crescents look like they could close or open the portal. At its present position, it is opened (or closed) half way to expose part of what is hidden behind the portal.
