Frst draft text for  InformationForCollectors http://charlesmingus3art.com/   Mandalas 1 Watercolor on clay stock   My watercolor Mandalas are abstract precisionist water colors on high gloss clay coated cover stock they were called Mandalas by my dealer Alan Stone they were small like Persian Miniatures with super precise geometric lines of contrasting colors in geometric paterns most of the works were under 10 "x 10".There SMALL SIZE was a joke around the gallery because visitors to my exhibitions would ask me"Why don’t you show the actual paintings ?"   & "What size is the original? " They most likely mistook them for glossy color photos of much bigger paintings and I guess they sort of resented the small scale. The paintings were a collection of the bright residue of watercolors pigmentsand structured  mono-print transparencie that was a result of the scale of the wet INTO WET wash effect overlaid in transparent layers on a porcelain white substrate of  high gloss clay coated cover stockPIGMENTS which otherwise looked dull on textured watercolor paper, I made thousands of paintings.    STARTING WITH "TARGET Mandalas" PUBLISHED BY MoMA...     Optional text  LIMITED EDITION ARCHIVAL PRINTS Images are Archival Giclee´ prints made on 100% acid free fine art paper printed with long lasting pigment inks.Each one will be signed and numbered by the artist in his studio.

1                                                                       Mandala means "circle" in Sanskrit      Mandalas sometimes symbolize the universe as well as the natural perfection and harmony in nature. Tibetan monks create sand mandalas symbolizing the rsidence of Enlightened Beings in order to help people imagine the vast and profound enlightened state. They are also used as meditational aids.  http://www.loselmaitribuddhist.org/index.html
