New here and not sure what a mandala is? From my first mandala teacher Paul Heussenstamm mandalas.com

Mandala Mondays began as a weekly feature of a mandala drawing and referencing photograph(s) of mine. Until I can afford an assistant, clone myself or devise a method to stretch time, this feature will continue every other week or so.

This is my usual pencil crayon on black paper drawing about nine inches in diameter.

Some recent photographs. I was especially inspired by the second blooming this summer of clematis and the snake-like spirals of garden hoses as referenced in the mandala. As always, the sacred can be found in every day objects.
