Mandela Mandala

On By ResaIn Murals, Street Art15 Comments

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.

Mandela #1

 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.

Mandela #3I found this art in a doorway in Ottawa. The artist is unknown to me.

Good-bye Mr. Mandela, the whole world loves you!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Canada

Daffodil #1

I know the color ribbon for Breast Cancer Awareness is pink. However, this mural is on a side of the CCS, Ottawa, Canada.

The Color for Cancer Awareness in general is yellow.

I thought it gorgeous, and appropriate enough.
