This is Donna with her new mandala painting. I am calling it "Donna's Mandala" because it was untitled when she purchased it from me during a recent First Friday event at The Banana Factory.
I'd started this piece sometime around June of last year (2012) when I was still in studio #249 - right around the corner from where I am now. Notice that I was playing with the same colors as in the piece with the three girls.
I had no real intentions, just me and a palette knife.

Closer.
This piece had been included in a recent exhibition called "Impromptu" in the Hallway to the Arts on the 1st floor of the Banana Factory. That's also my piece on the right.
