In 2007, I created one asymmetrical mandala a day for 21 days. “Bohemian Sunset” is one of the color pencil mandalas from that series. It was nicely preserved in a black metal frame, with a crisp black circle cut-out mat and all behind glass.

Be bold! Be colorful! Be magnificent!
About the Mandalas of the Week
Each week I choose one of my existing mandala paintings that wants to be upgraded OR create a new one and post it here. Throughout the week, I paint/draw/color/collage/etc it and post my progress on the Mandala of the Day. I post the upgraded version later in the week.
Happy Coloring!
