Description
This reminds me of a cross section of a plant root I discovered whilst in the garden. Enjoying the weather.. hence not as many drawings these days..I'm sure it will look better coloured but that will come later no doubt..
Enjoy colouring Mandalas? Check out my book here: www.amazon.com/The-Mandala-Col⦠Thx!
Hope you like it

Excellent work. With the circle of the sun in the center, which opens a window towards the infinite. The symmetry as in all your works it is always impeccable. The flower of twelve petals me resembles the small farm of the heart, between every petal burning torches take the fire towards the exterior, although also per moment these torches give the sensation of being flutes or trumpets that are touching a harmonious melody
This mandala is full of harmony and rhythm which makes it look constantly moving.
There is a very original style and great skill in the art. Those who have seen your work easily recognize their professionalism by the quality and dedication.

I really like this piece and how it flows, it really does look like a complex root system of a plant. What draws the eye is how the root extends from the center and continues out of the mandala.
The critique I have of this piece is that it is so light in design, almost grey in sections, and hard to see the patterns of complexity about this piece and that is common in mandalas. I would suggest a darker boarder around the edges of the patterns so that they stand out. Or, when you color it in make sure it is a strong contrast so that they are clearly seen. This piece is beautiful, but for certain pieces of the patterns I really have to strain my eyes to see them or zoom in with my computer.

Thank you dear Hadas... I too, as you know, took a break from drawing.. I was concentrating on marketing my book and negotiating with publishers about a follow up.. I lost my ability to create for a while.. but I'm getting back into it now.. and it feels good.. I'm glad you're still checking in despite all the other things happening in your life.. I wish you well with you music and other activities and look forward to the day you are able to draw again.. I'm glad you like this Mandala too

I'm trying to stay grounded when I read your comments.. Funny thing is that I really don't see anything amazing... I like drawing them but don't for one second think that I deserve such praise.. Either way, expect many more to come Kate.. I'm back in the Mandala drawing space.. and it feels good
