mandalas

Some mandalas from my early days on the computer.
Got a bit carried away with the kind of detail that would take
altogether too long in a painting.

Enjoyed learning this way (& have now forgotten how !)

Have been watching some BBC dvd's, The private life of
Plants, so utterly amazing how it all works.
Here's David Attenborough on the lyre bird on youtube.
There are several australian birds that mimic other sounds.
I've noticed that the birds often go quiet when
a certain kind of music is being played,
& imagine their secret concerts, later.
