Description
This is a page from my drawing journal. I started with 4 concentric circles, and no idea what to do. I used a 4H pencil, a calligraphy pen, a white gel pen, Faber-Castell PITT brush tip markers & DecoColor paint pens. I was sad when it was done.

Well, besides being stunning to look at...the colors, the quote, the patterns, the hours, the days, the nights and the seasons...it also contains elements of personal significance. I have had a fascination with mandalas since I was kid along with the paisley pattern, so much so that I have a 3/4 sleeve. The Peacock has become a more recent personal symbol....but back to your work....it is is just beautiful....and the quote reminds of a similar favorite spoken by The Dalai Lama. So I would say it's all "round" winner....hehe

I love mandalas too. I can't seem to help it. I'm attracted to circular shapes. Do you have a picture of your sleeve? The quote is from a character created by Charles de Lint, one of my favorite authors. Thank you for the kind words.

This is absolutely gorgeous!
The Thomas Paine quote is perfect! I was unfamiliar with Cerin Kelledy, but then...Google...
I like the idea of 'our stories'...I like to think of them as chapters...our stories are chapters in the same book...every generation is a volume....
