I’ve finally finished the colour theory mandala I started a few weeks ago. I’ve only been working on it one afternoon a week but I’ve been totally absorbed in doing it, really getting into the zone. I constructed the design with a pair of compasses and a pencil – and someone reminding me of GCSE Geometry from all those years ago! I used Daler Rowney System 3 acrylic paint onto a stretched canvas and mixed almost all the colours from the Primaries – yellow, red and blue. I added some white for tints and grey for tones and finally worked up the detailed patterning – my favourite bit, with bronze paint and a fine brush. It’s been fun working on something completely theoretical.
Raising Funds.
My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabled by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and the operation he needs isn’t currently available in the UK. I know times are hard, but if you’re able to spare a bob or two, please click here find out more or to donate a small amount to Phil’s crowdfunding campaign. Thank you xxx
Trying Out A Change
I’m having a go at new templates for my website so I’ll be changing them a few times over the next couple of weeks to see how I get on with them. If there’s one you really like, or dislike, please let me know . Thanks x

It’s gorgeous. Bravo! Must have been a wonderfully meditative image to work on, is lovely to look at now.
Thank you Aletha. It was a joy to paint, so meditative. It’s so different from what I normally do 🙂
