Artist Paints Ocean Stones With Thousands Of Tiny Dots To Create Colorful Mandalas

ADVERTISEMENT

Elspeth McLean, an Australian artist based in Canada, creates hypnotizing paintings of mandalas on smooth and perfectly round ocean stones that will soothe your soul and fill your wold with color. She paints her beautiful explosions of color with tiny dots, which makes her works even more symmetrical and soothing.

Her rocks are insanely popular, and sell out of her Etsy shop very quickly! But she also has tons of other artwork, so be sure to take a look!

More info: Etsy | elspethmclean.com | Facebook (h/t: mymodernmet)

Beautiful stones and other artwork can be found on McLean’s Etsy shop.

An American named Jeff Phillips was doing this in the States years ago, Then he moved to Austrailia, I was wondering if she knows him?

Gorgeous! I'd like to know what type of paint he artist uses. I draw mandalas but painting them seems very fun and beautiful.
