Mandala : Clown Chakra
Coloured pencils & Gold Art Pen on paper.
This Mandala was created over many months; a process of adding form and colour grew from a desire to “put some pieces back together” in my life. ..
It became a piece I could return to when the feeling arose, a gradual shift of focus onto the glorious, bright and colourful parts of my life.
I call it a clown chakra as that is how I imagine mine might look!
Traditionally, chakras relate to the energy centres within a person, whereby the life force flows through. This is really a playful and cheeky approach to depicting an “energy centre” I have visualised.

Beautiful work,Danita!I love the colors.
Heike Schenk A...
Realy cute,perfect title.
Martilena
Beautiful… and the title so well chosen…. the curls remind me of the little bells on a clown’s hat…:)
danita clark
Thank you {{{ aila }}} It was a slow process of adding colours that inspired me at the time.
It really did take many months as it was a journey through some personal healing, and at times felt very confrontational and just a little crazy!!
However that crazy bit is the bit I like the most in this one, that its not perfect symmetry, that the colours conflict ...
Thank you Heike, it was fun to do. It feels abit child-like, that wonder-filled awe of a child ...
Thank you Martilena, the funny thing is someone said that EXACT same thing to me today, the “bells and the clown or jester’s hat” !!!
and the other funny thing is that naive me (!) hadnt seen it that way before!!
So proves again how subjective art is to the viewer.
Mandalas seem to hold that quality – whereby the viewer “receives” only what is “required”.
Thanks for your comments.
Cheers xx

Lori Peters
I love artwork that is actually done by the artists hand. Beautiful work, Danita. xx
danita clark replied
Thank you for your kind words, Lori. I love colouring & painting.
Of late, I am beginning to play in photoshop – its a whole different world, and its loads of fun in a different way! I have started to work with photos of my mandalas, and its amazing how they can be changed into countless other “versions”. My challenge is getting a photo I have of my mandalas to “fit” here so that it “works” in size and details when it is viewed. It is my challenge….
Lori Peters
I don’t have PS but i should get it. My software is very limited. Good luck to you. I’m sure your work will be beautiful.
danita clark
Thank you Lori, it is a processs of playing ….
