Colored Pencil and Mandalas

There is a lot on mandalas on the internet,

about peace, meditation, healing.

I am not sure how much to believe, but I do know that

I can lose myself in creating the repeating patterns.

My interests are so off the wall. One week I want to do ballpoint pen art.

Another, colored pencil.

My acrylics gather dust, and then suddenly I will use them.

This painting is not finished.

It needs something, but I don't know what.

This picture doesn't do it justice--the colors glow off the page.

It just feels good to be putting color to the page again.
