Every so often a mandala comes along that reflects a change in my thinking.  Albeit a primitive form of perspective, this mandala has a depth to it not seen in previous designs.  The inner multicolored mandala and salmon colored cross advance to the foreground while the green patterned mandala sits in the background.  Both live happily on the page in harmony and complement each other. 
There are 20 hearts and 40 flowers (depending on how you view things) in this one.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi Jody,

I really enjoyed seeing all your mandala designs and reading your comments. You're right -- it is like a journal. Stephanie was familiar with mandala -- I guess from your facebook page and Corinne was familiar with mandala also. In fact at the LA museum she saw some monks creating them and said it was awesome.

Thank you for exposing me to mandalas. I told Stephanie she could have been the one to educate me along these lines.

Let's keep in touch. Love to Melanie and tell her I know she's going to like living in NC.

love,
Elaine

    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.
