ART RETREAT in ESTES PARK, CO - Day Two



Friday was a day of Yoga on the Shuffleboard Court, Rainbow Mandalas, Shrimp Tacos, and Clothing Memories.

The morning started off sunny and beautiful -- and stayed that way all day!



After an early morning yoga session and breakfast, we all met with our coffee on the covered deck of the main house for our Morning Gathering . . .

After our morning meeting, we walked down to the Art Studio in the barn.  Our project for today would be Rainbow Mandalas . . . 



Pat demonstrated constructing the mandala, and talked about (and demonstrated) mingling paint, mixing paint on the paper, wet-in-wet;  warm/ cool color temperature, and painting a warm-to-cool color kaleidoscope mandala, rather than a color wheel mandala.





Then, it was time for everyone to start on her own mandala . . .









We had all the doors open on this beautiful day!
