Creating The Newest Mandala

Thanks to my dear friend Ginger Bandoni who has been shooting some great photos and videos of my work in progress, I have these to share. This newest mandala (a detail) is a bit larger than my norm. At 24" square, it is 4 times larger than most, not including the murals. I am loving this new size even though it is challenging given my tight studio space.

I had it in mind to create an all white design as I have been quite enamored with white lately in my other paintings. While all of the elements are white, contrast in the form of a rich grey blue has given way to a study in monochrome. This is a study in color restraint for me :-) but one which I think has a quiet elegance. I will post the finished painting soon!
