In my desire to do a tribute to Nelson Mandela,
I looked for days through my street art collection. I came up with this beautiful Sunflower that has all of the colors of the flag of South Africa in it.
A mandala is a symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the Universe. The basic form of most mandalas is a square containing a circle with a center point.
I found this art in a doorway in Ottawa. The artist is unknown to me.
Good-bye Mr. Mandela, the whole world loves you!

Great tribute… And really well timed as yesterday (July 19th) it was Nelson Mandela International Day.
Best wishes, Aquileana 😀
Thank you, and best to you! Resa 😀
Sharing this great tribute of a most remarkable man is greatly appreciated. Thank you Resa
I was very moved when he passed. Thank you for visiting, Eddie!
What a lovely mandala! It reminds me a sunflower my mother is painting, yet at the same is alive with a unique vibrance of its own.
Thank you! I do like it a lot. I am crazy about finding art in the streets and alleys!
