Circle Mandala

It has been a long time since I did a mandala but was recently inspired to do this one.

Circles Mandala

I love this prompt!

A prompt of circles
How could I resist the word
It’s so mandala!

and

The circle of love
No beginning and no end
It was meant to be

Valentine Mandala

A new zentangle
See the heart in the middle?
Valentine for you

‘Slowly’ Mandala

I have not been here for two months-no mandalas, no One Single Impression haiku, nothing.
A few people have been wondering what happened.  I can only say that I lost my muse for awhile.

At last she is back
My muse, my inspiration
Let’s start creating

I am dedicating these mandalas to my dear friend Marianne who recently lost her father.   She creates beautiful mandalas.

The theme word at One Single Impression this week is “slowly” suggested by Genre Cookshop.

Take a breath slowly
Smell the fragrance in the air
Spring flowers have come

The top mandala is full of flowers, while the second mandala is a color inversion of the same image.  I did this in Paint on Vista.

Paradox Mandala

The theme word at One Single Impression this week is ‘paradox’ suggested by Forest River Journal.

Paradox is an interesting word with a slippery meaning

Here is my haiku:

A paradox for me
Mandala without color
Just brown, white and black

I found some brown paper and while fooling around with it, this mandala appeared and it seemed so perfect for paradox.  Then the haiku appeared just as mysteriously.

Gold Mandala

The prompt at One Single Impression this week is’Gold’ suggested by Greyscale Territory.  Another fun one.

There were so many ways to interpret this but I settled on:

The gold in nature
Flower, bees and autumn leaves
That gold is priceless!

Serendipity Mandala

The prompt at One Single Impression this week is ’serendipity’ suggested by ‘Barb’s haiku’.

I love the word ’serendipity’, both the sound and the connotation.  I had a few haiku that came to mind:

I let my pen play
Black, until it found color
Serendipity!

Serendipity!
Looking for the stars
And finding the sun

Serendipity!
Mental images abound
Of great surprises

And my favorite:

Serendipity
Discovering your best friend
While looking for love

Ever the romantic!

Wandering designs

Autumn Mandala

The prompt at One Single Impression this week is ‘Autumn’ suggested my moi:)  I LOVE doing autumn leaves and have written so many haiku and painted leaves all week on my art blog.

This mandala is doing double duty today as ‘autumn’ is also the prompt at Mandala Oasis.

The cycle of change
During the life of a leaf
The joys of autumn

Started as a green
Progressed to red and yellow
Ends brown and broken

I have had a week
Of colorful autumn leaves
At Painted Daisies

I love painting autumn leaves and went crazy painting them and writing a haiku for each. 
I am leaving for Arizona tomorrow so it will be a few days before I can visit your Blogs.

Three days to go south
And west to Arizona
With warm sunny skies
