This painting was done by my most beloved kindred, Jamie. We were taken by the idea of painting mandalas, the Eastern talismans of healing; symbols that project the power of the self.
Mandalas are traditionally geometric in shape and patterned with particular colours that reflect the self and the healing colours required for the individual.
This painting is an expression, not a mandala in its traditional form, but I look at it and it heals my soul in its own little way. The yellow ball churns in the core of me, like my solar plexus chakra; it spirals into oranges and reds.
Tones of solar colours; the element of fire; the significance of light reminds me to embrace my solar energy, that eternal flame that I need paired with my lunar energy to restore my balance.
Orange gives us confidence and creativity, a dose of red brings us passion and the brightness of yellow stimulates our sense of self-worth and empowerment.
As I look at this painting, not only does it bring me great joy and pride to know that my love expressed such beauty in colour but it also reminds me of that solar power that I must remember to absorb and store within.
In grey-washed times, through crying window panes, it is important to hold onto that infinite ball of light...
