“On the beach, you can live in bliss.”  — Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys

I can’t decide what I think of this mandala.  One minute I like it, then next not so much.   The source photo was taken by my late brother, Dave, of a beach special to our family.  He caught the beach in an especially tranquil and lovely mood.

Perhaps the mandala fails to convey that tranquility and that’s why I’m not sold on it.  Or perhaps I just miss my brother.  I do love his photo, though.
