Mandala and Padi field

Acrylic painting 34 x 39cms plus gold frame. Painted in situ at Pondok Saraswati, Lod Tunduh, Bali. 2018

The lotus mandala is superimposed on the actual view from upstairs in one of the villas. The swastika turning in this direction is an ancient Hindu symbol. It is a worthwhile challenge to combine the imaginative, somewhat geometrical image to fit with the realistic landscape. Painting is a meditation.
