Earth Manadala I made in Bend, OR this summer. A friend of mine calls Mandalas: Acupuncture for the Earth.

The Blog is On

I have finally decided it is time to get my blog going. As you know I am not on Facebook, I have my web site www.annesiems.com, but this is going to be a bit more personal. I hope you will enjoy it. Also, this painting is available in a few days as a print at Sebastian Foster: sebastianfoster.com/prints!
