Another mandala I drew lately.

I was listening to some instrumental versions of church hymns on the radio, and they got me to think along the lines of such words as "spirituality," "purity" "giving" and "strength." Then this image of a heart with the twinkle of a star (to represent how the heart can shine in purity, and yes, that is a star in the picture and not some weird starfish XD) with giving hands came to me, so I drew that. Afterward, the picture needed something more, so then I though of stained-glass windows you'd often see at a church and decided to add a variety of colors to give the background a stained-glass window feel.

Looking at this picture now, I can imagine someone wanting to put it on their church window for real.

Drawn with oil pastels on a sketch pad.
