eh
The first Saturday night of the month is usually known as The ArtWalk in New Orleans. Art galleries have coordinated opening receptions. October's first Saturday is called "Art for Art's Sake." It is the "kick-off" for the season. In 2007 I went gallery hopping on Julia Street. While I was walking along Julia Street, I noticed a "chalk-drawn" mandala on the street. I had to take a photo.
When I made my list of items for possible paintings, I placed the mandala on my list. After many edits to my list I decided to go ahead and make a painting inspired by the chalk drawing. I worked with the pastel chalk colors involved, and attempted to capture the spirit of the drawing.
acrylic on canvas, 5" x 5"

I like this, Mo. This is another one that seems to have movement in it. I like the pastel colors on the dark background.

'Interesting that the word "movement" came up again. I appreciate hearing that observation.
As for dark background, they have proved difficult for me in the past. 'Glad to now this one worked. : )
