I was in awe of your mandala work yesterday. The detail is fabulous. I’ve done a couple of mandalas, nothing to the degree you have taken it. Very inspiring.

Last year we were in Barcelona Zoo and saw a big pool with two hippos in it … this brought back the memory. I love your style of painting. Sorry to be repetitive, but do you use pen and ink for the black lines, or a rigger?
