ORANGE FANDANGO MANDALA - © Sue O'Kieffe 2009source image: chicken feather
We skipped the light fandango, turned cartwheels 'cross the floor...(from A Whiter Shade of Pale)
It started with a chicken feather and my Wacom tablet. A little doodling, playing with orange, rust and gold with a splash of lavendar for an electric effect. I just wanted to have fun playing with color color color.
A fandango is lively Spanish dance. It can also mean a big fuss or brilliant exploit. I hear castanets and see swirly skirts. Ole!

The color in this is amazing! The darkening toward the middle feels like it's pulling me in. Really great.

really beautiful and intriguing.
I adore your summation: "A fandango is lively Spanish dance. It can also mean a big fuss or brilliant exploit. I hear castanets and see swirly skirts. Ole!" LOL. Made me laugh!
I love how your fandago ignited with the flow of your feeling for the play of the colour. Amazing channeling. :)
Happy Creative Every Day.
I am very intrigued byt the idea of it coming from a chicken feather and a wacum tablet, the end result is beautiful.
Mmmmm Sexy! I love it!

Festive! And, I like the accompanying words. I have a Wacom tablet, but don't do anything near so exciting!
Sue your pieces are so amazing...such energy!
Love, love , love the color! Very exciting!
I've enjoyed all of your pieces, but this one is especially nice. I love the orange and lavender.
This one is really stunning. I also really enjoy how the subtle darkening of the color draws one into the image. Hard to believe this started out as a chicken feather!
I am a gig fan of orange. I love the way fandango rolls in my mouth when I say it. What a fun word.
I love this mandala, it has a wonderful colouring and the scribbles give a wonderful texture :-)
