Mandala Artwork

"She searches to find herself

in all kinds of places

Yet here on this page

it feels just right

it feels safe"

She found herself again ...

for it has been too long

(Created 2-28-2014)

Whenever I find myself restless

I return to my Mandala Artwork.

Each one is different,

each one has it's own identity,

each one speaks to me in a different way.

My journals are full

of different designs

and I don't think I could ever pick a favorite one,

because when each one was created 

 at a time I needed clarity,

understanding and vision for something

that was going on in my life.

I always found the guidance.

so each one carries

significant meaning.

Mandala Artwork

has taught me to slow myself down,

listen to my instincts

and follow my own intuition.

I have worked out problems,

thought about so many things

and most especially

calmed my heart right down

during the process.

I am excited to be embarking

on a new e-course with Louise Gale

Mixed Media Mandalas

in April,

taking my artwork to a totally new level!

Louise is such a beautiful soul,

what a gift it will be to study

what I love most 

with an amazingly talented artist!

Please come and check it out!

She also has Mandala Mondays on her blog,
this piece was inspired from her
and I wanted to try out my new
Mixed Media Art Boards
by Strathmore

I have always been drawn to circles,

to patterns, to creating,

to painting with bold colors

and

my mandala artwork

reflects all of those creative choices.

"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart"
William Wordsworth

I think if I were asked to give up

all of my creative adventures 

and just choose one thing I would keep,

it would be this.

Thank goodness that choice will never have to be made!

May you find yourself at peace this week
May you always find happiness and joy
Think about complaining LESS
May you jump into rain puddles
and experience adventure!
