Step 3

Here in the orange circle the beginning of 2 orange zinnia's. A flower I really love but nearly impossible to buy here for your garden. Already to be seen the millennium ring in red and the purple circle.
Because my circles are overlapping each other, sometimes it is wise to paint the color of the next circle instead of painting the color around my design. Just things I have learned along the way.

    Marianne, you are an excellent teacher.... I knew your Mandalas were carefully crafted with much thought....but to see one created step-by-step is fascinating!
    Thank you so much for sharing with us!

    Hmmm.....methinks Lolo made a typo - or is is really a "tall" snake? Ha-ha!!!

    Love,

    ♥ Robin ♥

    You have so much patience! And a steady hand, Marianne. I can only imagine what a mess I would make of this. It's beautiful! I wish I could send you some zinnias. They grow here like weeds in the summer. xox! Pam

    been not blogging for awhile so will have to go back and see the first steps. most interesting. you are so tidy and careful with your work. i recall seeing some fast speed video's you have done of you painting. very precise and yet so inventive and creative. wonderful.

    I'm really enjoying seeing the step-by-step process. I didn't know how much effort went into each one. They are so intricate and full of meaning.
