Happy 4th of July!

This is my own mandala. I got this mandala from my dear friend Eveline 7 years ago. Isn't it beautiful? It is made by Beika Kruid, an artist who lives in Groningen. It's the mandala that made me start painting mandalas myself, the start of my mandala-madness. Dit is mijn eigen mandala. Gekregen van mijn lieve vriendin Eveline. Zeven jaar geleden. Is die niet mooi? Hij is getekend door Beika Kruid, een mandala maakster uit Groningen. Het is de mandala die alles in gang heeft gezet. Het schilderen van mandala's en mijn mandala-gekte. Happy 4th of July! Beika Kruid

    dankie vir al jou mooi kommentare, ek verf my 'giggles' in groepe, 6 of 7 in een dag, en ek kry die inspirasie orals in my wereld, boek, mense, die internet.

    Suki, I was so pleased to read about your good weather, then I knew you are doing fine!

    HI FY, ja die wind was wel wat! Ik zag het bij het tennissen.
    Wij hadden gisteren gevarieerd weer, van alles wat. En het heeft flink geregend, dat was wel lekker voor de tuin!
