Ojo de Dios (mandala 7-3)
mandala 7-3

I always have mixed feelings about the composition of this mandala. In some ways, I like its simplicity. In other ways, it feels overly simplistic.
I can tell you it evokes a southwestern Native American feel for me. The four directions of the wind, the four points of a compass ... I see those in this mandala. In my flickr account, I mentioned an Ojo de Dios, an "eye of God." It's a creation many of us made when we were kids at summer camp. You take two sticks, cross them and begin weaving yarn around their intersection. That's what I remember of an Ojo de Dios.
Like this one from an artist named Jay Mohler. See his website here.
