Daily Meditation Art   ( Thumbnail View • Enlarged View )

	0425 Cynthia Friedlob Throughout history, looking at a work of art has often been used as a way to focus the mind for meditation. However, I’ve often found that the process of making art can itself be a meditative experience. In 2004 I decided to embark on an artistic adventure and make a commitment to create a new, original abstract drawing every day for one year as my daily meditation practice. I called this adventure “The Modern Mandala Project.” The process began on April 18, 2004 and continued through April 17, 2005. Each Daily Meditation drawing was created using Prismacolor pens on 6”x9” watercolor paper. Each finished work was initialed and dated on the front. The drawings are shown with a black border for the purpose of enhancing the display on your monitor - they are not matted or framed. A signed and dated certificate of authenticity will be included with each purchase. The connected lines and geometric shapes used in these unique drawings reflect our universal, very human need to define relationships and create order. The bright colors are a joyful affirmation of life. Making the drawings helped to focus my mind; it’s my hope that viewing them will give you the same benefit. In that way they can become “Modern Mandalas.” Of course, a meditation practice can be more than just a personal quest for achieving a calm state, although anyone who’s ever tried meditating knows that quieting the mind can be quite a challenge for most of us! But with a much broader viewpoint, meditation ideally can express a desire for all humanity to find inner serenity and peace. It was my intention to create each drawing in that spirit. Then, offering the artwork to you becomes a tangible way to share my hope for a peaceful future for our troubled world. And, since making art is a process that is fulfilled only when the art is viewed and contemplated over a period of time, I’m pleased that you now have the opportunity to complete that process!
