Tripping the Light Fandango Mandala

Tripping the Light Fandango

 source inspiration:

I don't live in a place where maples are turning riotous shades of red and orange right now, so I turned to the bright beauty of Scottish heather for some wonderful eye candy in magenta and rose for the creation of this mandala.

When I asked for a name, I heard Tripping the Light Fandango.  Wikipedia tells me that the fandango was a couples dance accompanied with much hand clapping that originated in Iberia. 

Hmmm.

I see a dance of light and color with much merry movement capable of bringing out feelings of happiness and joy.

What do you see?

Circles of Love 2015 Calendar is Now Available for Pre-Order

I am very excited to tell you about this year's mandala calendar, Circles of Love 2015

Circles of Love Calendar contains multi-dimensional nature mandala art created from two or more of my own nature photographs. The mandalas reflect my understanding of Nature's unconditional love.

The video shows each month's mandala offering

Each mandala is accompanied by quotes from Rumi, Coehlo, Gibran and other inspirational writers on the topics of love and loving. We need these reminders in our lives now more than ever. I chose each mandala with care to resonate with the energies of the month it represents.

Passages Mandala

Passages Mandala - Circle of Being Series - Sue O'Kieffe © 2014

source inspirations:

I have been watching and enjoying my neighbor's garden from the time the bulbs she planted first appeared. Then the dahlias and crocosmia bloomed. Sometimes hummingbirds came to visit. Her little herb garden also flourished. I enjoyed some pesto she made from her basil, and a number of photographs were inspirations for different mandala creations. Today I looked at her garden with a different eye. Everything speaks of Autumn's big shift. Indian summer is over,  and I can feel the pull of inward - going hibernation in my soul. I wanted to take the time today to honor these passages with the last of her garden and to thank it for the joy it has brought me.

Namast'e.
