Pebble Mandalas

Pebble Mandala                  21/12/14


Good morning everyone! I've painted some pebbles this morning and following their natural contour, a circular mandala doodle was a natural outcome. I've used acrylic paint and black marker. I had always wanted to paint pebbles since i saw some beautiful examples online.

I am sure like me you would have doodled on a newspaper or a envelope cover, and surprised yourselves with pleasing results.When our creative right side of the brain takes over, while the analytical rational left side of the brain is not engaged is when our inner self exposes itself. In the modern stimulating environment, when our mind jumps from one stimulus to another, it's very grounding to touch base with ourselves. In what starts as a abstract expression, but with regular practise leads to a natural order of self and restores harmony.

Carl Jung extensively explored Mandalas, and made one everyday. I have my own Mandala sketchbook and am enjoying doing it. Try making your own Mandalas and please share your
Mandalas and your experiences with it.
