Keys Of Life Mandala by Marg Thomson

Acrylic with metallic and glitter overlays on gallery wrap canvas, 40×40cm

I should be feeling fantastic, my spirit should be soaring – instead I find myself earthbound and full of pain. Having stupidly broken my toe on Monday (the first broken bone ever), and being unable to take pain meds I just feel like crap.

So I paint.

This is for my sons girlfriends 18th Birthday and the symbology is clear (well, to me anyway) – but you can add your interpretations please:)

Its also based in the song that I played a lot: INXS – Afterglow:

“Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I’m living in your afterglow…”

    If I paint, I don’t feel the pain as much. Works with broken hearts as well as broken bones – you paint your way through the pain – I have had much practise LOL

    This is such a gorgeous, concept, design and colours
    Your pain is the lucky girls gain
    Bravo

    Hope your toe heals quickly
    When I broke mine I found arnica cream applied 5 times a day and cold compresses helped.
    Just my experience

    Love the song now too

    Thanks Kaz – I’m using teatree oil and it makes a huge difference – plus I heal exceptionally fast so I will just stay off my foot and slow down LMAO thank you:)
