Hey Sanjiva !
Sanjiva sounds very indian ... are you indian or just taking an indian name as a deco-artist ?
I was in India a few years ago .. The culture and the people are both interesting and friendly. I lived for three months in a small village 250 km from Bombay. Living, or just staying in a different culture for some time, changes one's life and thinking.
Wow , got deep there. If you're not indian, forget what I wrote ... erhh ..
Well ... your mandalas !!!! wow ... double-wow !!! I am impressed to the max !!! And handpainted too !!! great stuff ... only the paint for a large backdrop/painting must cost a fortune ?? doesn't color that reflects ultraviolet lighting cost hell-a-lot ? Or are there cheap ways, tricks or such too ?
I am thinking about making some simple backdrops for a party, do you have any suggestions/hints ??
That Flower of Life pattern to see how one can paint symmetrically is a great idea, I guess they use that in India , when making these mandalas on the floors with sand in various colors.
