This design is actually the same as the previous post but with a different color palette.  I started with this one, and thought it was too much color so I abandoned it. Then I started the other one with a more traditional analagous color scheme and I liked it.  But my daughter saw this one half finished and fell in love with it....so then I liked it again and finished it.  And so it goes.  I worked this way in college too and could often be seen working on two designs for the same project.  Isn't art just so much fun?  Unlike math, with one answer...the creative solutions are infinite...as it should be.

Happy Wednesday Mandala! It's a little different from what I normally do...so therefor I like it.  Different means, to me, that I am growing and changing. And that's what it's all about! Enjoy!

They all start out the same way, with a dot and a circle around it.....but they never end up the same.  I think that's what keeps me going.

Honoring Orange today! Just trusted my intuition, and my hand as it reached for orange, blues to complement and browns to tone things down. I am really letting go of all "rules" and trusting the Higher Self completely.  So much more fun this way.  Enjoy!

It is so cold and snowy here today, I don't know where this color palette came from.  Evidently it's not too early to be thinking of spring....even on a subconscious level! 71 days and 40 minutes til spring....and counting!

Mandala for the New Year

There is nothing quite like a new year, a fresh start, a time to begin again. I like the shades of red in this mandala because I'm in the Pink! Moving forward in my life and I feel good!  Of course this color palette reminds me of a box of raspberry cream chocolates, and that just can't be a bad thing.  Yum.

    Hello, and welcome to my website. My name is Jody Cooke and I am a designer living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  I have been an artist in some form or another for over thirty years. My new passion is mandalas! Since I learned about them in January 2013, I have created over 1,500 (black and white) of these circular patterns and over 160 full color.  Some are very small and sketchy, most are 8 inches in diameter, currently I am creating on 24" x 18" paper (transitioning into a Lotus Mandala series as of summer 2017) and one is a 24 inch square acrylic mandala painting on canvas. Definitely not my preferred medium..but I gave it a try!
    Making mandalas is the most rewarding creative endeavor of my career.  Each time I sit down to draw I am so excited to see what comes out on the paper.  I feel so fortunate to have found this expressive and spiritual porthole to reveal my true self.  Thank you for visiting my site.
