The Magic and Mystique of Mandalas
Artworks by Jon H. Davis
MANDALAS PICTURED
(Top row - left to right)
DREAMTIME
For Australian Aborigines, time began when spirit ancestors or supernatural beings in the shape of plants and animals awoke, breaking through the earth's surface. "Dreamtime" is about inner dreaming, spiritual connection, and sacredness of the Earth.
GREEN THISTLE
As winter’s whiteness gives way to the greens of spring, a color long associated with rebirth and renewal, a thistle stands for a portrait.
HEART OF WINTER
Deep in a snow-covered forest in the Green Mountains of Vermont, the heart of winter was revealed in shades of blue
and white.
(Bottom row - left to right)
MAYAN SPIRIT
The sun-baked landscape of Mexico was the setting for a colorful, Mayan ritual. Dancers and musicians offered homage to the ancestors of a once-great civilization.
IRIS MANDALA
The vibrant colors and patterns of the Iris mandala reveal more than the beauty of its petals. Iris: ornamental flower, the all-seeing eye, goddess of the rainbow,
messenger of the gods. Connect with Iris.
GOLDEN MYTHOS
Autumn foliage is ablaze with colors in trans-formation. A mantle of golden leaves beckons and speaks of ancient myths, in this time of change and harvests.
