just for fun!

Wrapping paper from a Birthday party in March. I liked the bright colors and patterns and recombining them!

tendrils

We are all connected. Stay Safe!

it's mid January already!

A picture of the moon with enhanced colors from a display at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Liked the colors.

then on into December

With a BANG we are in the heat of the holiday season. . .then 2019 will be over. it is the relentless march of time that causes me to pause this morning. Think my shopping is mostly done. it's just the cleaning and putting up of Christmas that has blocked my progress. In the end time marches on whether we want it to or not, so might as well go with the flow. A Merry Christmas Mandala - Christmas Cactus and all.

more spring flowers

Loved the pastel colors in this cross shaped mandala.

Merry Christmas!

Well the tree is up - some ornaments and cookies made - now it's time for the Christmas Letters! Celebrate the Season and Enjoy!

Alcohol Ink Star

Am posting several images in succession so I can order my annual 'blog book'. It gives me a sense of having accomplished something to hold a book in my hand - to say this is a record of my year long art work. Hope every one else enjoys my circles as much as I do! Alcohol Inks are fun to work with - I like the way colors interact with each other before they have dried. Just for fun!

succulent cross

This succulent had nice pastel colors and a bloom.

Hummingbird Mint

Once in a while, I use the Celtic cross feature in my kaleidoscope program. So here starts a series of crosses - this one is a flower of agastache or as one garden store called it "hummingbird mint", wonderful subtle colors.

Different color

More Engleman Ivy pink and green.

Star Gazer Lily

This is a star gazer lily - they make a beautiful flower and smell heavenly.  I liked the pastel feeling of the colors in this mandala,  It almost felt like a snowflake, because of the white tips of the petals.. 

And if I should go before you

My sister passed away - she will be missed!

Cactus spires

Cactus spires aspire to the heights.  These looked architectural to me. So I post this in honor of my grandson who likes tall buildings.  Let us all aspire to greater things in the New Year to come!

one waterlily

Here is one mandala of a waterlily, I liked it for the soft pastel colors, which seemed peaceful to rest the eye on.  Certainly not as bold as the sunflowers.
