"Midnight Moonlight" Mandala 🎨

After I do a custom painting, I often like to do a small quick one with my own design inspirations. When I do custom work it usually takes me a bit longer. I love to do customs because I end up creating cool unique things I never would have otherwise, and I know they often have a really special meaning to the patron. However I do have to have a chat about what to create, and often have to do some sketches first. Then the whole way through I'm thinking about what the person I'm creating for would want. When I create art without having to meet someone's expectations, I can get into a state where I don't think as much and just go with the flow a little more.

A while ago I did a big 48 x 48 inch painting "Water & Stone" with similar colors. This one is 10 x 10 inches. I really liked how the combination of grays and blues with white gives a bit less of a trippy psychedelic Mandala vibe, and a bit more of a modern nature inspired design vibe. It makes me think of mountains capped with snow, and winter. Cold, cloudless nights, with stars twinkling brightly and a full moon reflecting off the fresh snow making it glitter like thousands of diamonds.
