Ok, here is what I am trying to accomplish: In 1998 and 2003, I design and painted some Celtic inspired Mandalas. They were 27" x 27" in the shape of a diamond, and I liked them a lot. They can be seen on my website. Unfortunately, they were partially destroyed in a flood we had at our apartment in 2008, and I was distraught at their loss. I considered them some of my best work. I have decided to recreate them, and add the third piece to complete the series as originally intended.
The originals were on 4-ply illustration board, painted in acrylic. For this new series, I have chosen to paint them on 24" x 24" canvas board. They will need some revision to accomodate the smaller size, so the new designs, while based on older pieces, will be different, and therefore, new works.
I bought the canvases yesterday, and started working on them today. The pictures above show my progress today.
Looks very challenging. Im glad you decided to re-create these wonderful piece's. Cant wait to see the completed works. Keep up the great work, love your stuff.
