Elspeth McLean Creates Mandalas By Painting Ocean Stones

On Etsy / Facebook

Elspeth McLean puts her talents to good use transforming smooth ocean stones into symbolic works of arts. Originally from Australia, the Canadian-based artist creates colorful mandalas by carefully painting thousands of tiny dots onto perfectly round ocean stones. Her colorful mandala creations are hypnotic to look at, filling your eyes with color, inspiration and delight. She aligns each pop of color into perfect circles, creating an impossibly symmetrical appearance that is truly one of a kind.

Her stones sell out quicker than she can make them, at the time of writing this there are none available for sale. She writes on her Etsy Shop Announcement, “I am still painting stones and try to add a few to my shop every other day at random. This way it leaves it up to chance.”

This piece of art is called Autumn Blossom by Elspeth McLean. When I first saw this piece it made me feel captivated because of the patterns she used especially the tree. I feel like I’m being sucked in by the tree. This piece reminds me of a peacefully autumn because of the autumn colours she used. It makes me imagine me sitting by a tree and enjoying the peacefully scenery. When I look at this piece it makes me feel peacefully because it makes me think of my spot I go to when I feel angry or upset to just calm done and watch the scenery in front of me. Elspeth McLean has created this using acrylic paint and canvases. My eyes are drawn to the blue sky because of all the different tone of purples and blues. As well as the beautiful mandala she has included in the background.

I like my pebbles as they are, but many people are "going dotty" with Elspeth McLean.

Artist Turns Ocean Stones Into Tiny Mandalas By Painting Colourful Dot Patterns

Mandalas are temporary by design. But that’s not the case with the ones that Canada-based artist Australian Elspeth McLean paints on stones. Colorful dots are arranged in a radiating (or centered, depends on how you look at it) pattern, making the stones a treat for the eyes. The comparison to mandala isn‘t accidental, either – that‘s how the artist calls them herself. And for Elspeth, painting the stones is a meditative practice. The stones themselves are usually collected from the ocean shore in Canada, though she probably doesn’t pass up pretty pebbles from her Australian homeland either.

“In some Aboriginal cultures, the Moon is identified with a bad man, sent to the sky for his evil acts. The Yolngu children’s story is typical. The Moon-man, Ngalindi, was a fat round man, representing the full Moon. He was extremely lazy, and refused to bring any food home for his family, but insisted his wives and sons catch all the food. They became very annoyed at this, and started chopping bits off him, making the fat man thinner, like a crescent, which we see as the phases of the Moon. He managed to escape by climbing a tall tree to follow the Sun, but was mortally wounded, and died (the new Moon). (In other versions, he jumps off the top of the tree into the sky but is unable to return.) After remaining dead for 3 d, he rose again, growing round and fat (the waxing Moon), until, after two weeks his wives attacked him again. The cycle continues to repeat every month.” - Wells
