This year Scott and I were invited to the Christmas Party of our dear friends, Donna and Brian McMan. Donna is Scott's tri coach and both Donna and Brian are both elite athletes. Donna is a Pro. What I love about them is that they are soooo down to earth and so genuine. They have always impressed me.
At the Christmas Party, I was introduced to a new (to me) form of art - mandala art. It is an art form that was created by the Hindus and it fascinating. Anyone can do it - using just a ball point pen and a bland piece of paper. It consists of 4 identical figures sketched in quadrants and joined together. The resultant figure is an Escher-like masterpiece. At the party, I did one and think that I could be good at this with much practice.
Brian's dad, Bernard McMahon, is one of the leading experts in this art form. He has done over 1700 designs - one more beautiful than the next. He gave me an autographed copy of his new book, "Unleash Your Creativity through Mandala Art".
What a fascinating evening!!!!!
