New mandala

I paint relatively rarely nowadays, I’m not even sure why. But sometimes I just feel this call of inspiration. A song, a color palette, a motif in nature catches my attentions, moves me and here I am, sitting down to create. At first, I spread my paints to see what colors I have, take a piece of watercolor paper and start mixing colors. If these two are the main ones, how do they look in different intensity?… What would happen if I’d add this to the palette?… This doesn’t feel right… This feels much better…. It’s partly a dialogue with myself, partly simply intuitive process but I’m always sure when the right colors are chosen. There’s a deep sense of satisfaction- “ahhh, THIS.”

Once the colors are chosen, I sit down to meditate and pray. If it’s a custom order for someone, I’m tuning into their desired word or intention, asking their Spirit Guides and my Spirit Guides to guide me in creating something that this particular person needs. 
 
If it’s not a custom order, I still do a similar process, just praying that for the right person this would be the right energetic code, something they will see and recognize. 
 
And then I sit down to create. Usually a song or two are playing on repeat- I don’t know why but music on repeat that I “vibe” with always puts me in the flow state. A candle burning, essential oils in the diffuser, a cup of tea or ceremonial cacao by my side and I can be “gone” like this for hours. It usually takes me a few days to sit and finish one mandala, as it takes about 6 hours to paint one. This new one for me is about the beauty of imperfection, organic growth, and blossoming with lightness. I see it and it begs a question- “What if we would not force but flow?”
