Sensitivity


Sensitivity

created from a photo of impatiens
copyright MaryAnn Cleary


Initially, I was going to call this one sensual, but just prior to posting it the word "sensitivity" came to mind instead. Impatiens are such a fragile plant. With one bump against a pot, the stems and flowers can easily be broken....so sensitivity it is.

Explosive

This mandala is an explosive one. My thinking behind this one is that since it is created from a photo of a poppy, the poppy explodes upon opening. It is brilliant for only a couple of days and the petals fall off leaving only the remaining seedpod.

Shining Star

This mandala was created from a photo of a calla lily that I took. Since the photo was a close-up of the lily, the mandala ended up being a very simple one. I may try doing this one again to see how much the design can be changed.

Anxiety


Anxiety

This mandala was created from a photo that I took of a fushia. It is a simple one, but a very powerful one. There are times in our lives when we feel as if we are being pulled in different directions. There must be balance.
