Own work in progress this October

After several postings about fascinating art made by others, here a little update what I am up to this October. I created a few new mandalas or kaleidoscopic images on my computer. These are, as always, based on one of my drawings.


I love the details that appear out of nearly nothing...

This little beauty is the original drawing, from which the above two are derived.

Finally another original watercolor. A little glimpse in my imaginary world.
All of these images will be on show in about two weeks (starting on the first Friday of Novermber)
at the gallery of the Lynchburg Art Club.

Intersections

I had the privilege this year to visit the south of Spain, and there to spend a delightful day at the Alhambra, this beautiful 1000 year old palace in Granada. The patterns, designs, and peacefulness of the place remain unforgettable. I now stumbled across the art of Anila Quayyum Agha, who uses exactly those patterns and brings them into our western world. See for yourself:
