MANDALAS & SHELTERING #7

These mandalas are the seventh group of mandalas from mandala makers which were originally from a Watercolor Mandala class in Capitola, CA. We then invited anyone, anywhere to join us while we sheltered. We continued the “class,” meeting at the same time and on the same day (Thursdays, 1:00 Pacific time) in the ether, to paint and/or make mandalas. All who wanted to were invited to join. The suggested topic for the week was: PAINT OR CREATE FROM THE MEDITATION. The meditation, on May 21, 2020, was “The Gift of the Iris Flower,” and was posted on my Facebook page as well as YouTube.

“Grief Transformed by Sunshine.” I painted this as a tribute to my dear cousin who passed away about 2 weeks ago. And to all those who have lost loved ones recently and during the pandemic. I received an image of a yellow iris in a dream before he passed and it took me until now to attempt to paint it because I was so full of grief. A yellow/gold iris symbolizes a communication between heaven and earth. When I could finally paint it, I felt my cousin with me, happy and out of pain. I was so lifted!
