Singing in the Rain

First Mandala Study: 'Singing in the Rain'. I've never done one of these before so it was a nice new experience. Suggested to do the drawing as an exercises to get the creative juices flowing I just approached it by starting a gesture drawing, which is something I usually do in times when I need to get the juices going. All I remember is that on this particular morning it was raining pretty hard while I was walking to class. I remember walking in the rain listening to all the traffic and weather and other city sounds going on. All this was on my mind when I got to class so I started doodling a random gesture and the mandala turned into a window scene of my morning stroll.
