Flowers inspired by Tiffany glass

 I have been playing with paint markers on paper.  I love Tiffany glass and was exploring the stained glass style. (The image is from my own imagination). Something a little different came out of the materials and the inspiration.

Light in darkness

 An image for the upcoming solstice as we prepare for the return of the light.




Copse in the rain. Rainbows and clouds.

I didn't get around to posting anything here in November, so this is November's offering. A small quiet reflective piece created on a rainy day.

More Akashadhatesvari variations

 I was on a roll exploring variations on the theme of the Lady of Vajra Space, hands in the gesture of turning the wheel of the dharma, holding the stems of two lotuses bearing a Dharmachakra and a Vajrabell. Here is a selection of these images.

Pandaravasini: new variation

 I have a new version of Pandaravasini for the 5 Prajna set. I think this version works better within the context of the set of five, but it is a matter of preference.

The original set can be viewed in a post dated October 2021.
