This mandala was done as I become intrigued with the idea of creating a piece of art based on the shape of the ellipsis. My son Eli helped me with the engineer’s expertise of how to draw an ellipsis. It is a difficult image to create and he had the perfect solution using a string and pencil. Fun to make after learning how to do it… The energy of this drawing is very dynamic and the bottom part represents water falling into consecutive pools.
