July 2015 MotM

July 2015: Bodacious

The idea for this month’s mandala comes from a little girl who watched as I sketched out some of the 2015 Mandalas of the Month designs.

About to sketch July’s MotM, I asked her what would she like to see in it. She replied: “an elephant.” So here you go…a bodacious elephant.

May 2015: Breathtaking

Ever experience a something that took your breath away? It’s a truly in-the-moment experience…whether it be a negative experience or positive. We’re usually doing something else, probably unaware of what’s going on around us, when all of a sudden something happens to bring our attention front and center, in the moment, that makes us take in a big gasp of air.

August 2014: Charity

In looking up the definition of “Charity” in the online Oxford Dictionary, I found two of the four options rather interesting. Of course they had the two obvious ones:

Help or money given voluntarily to those in need
An organization set up to provide help and raise money for those in need

Both valid and both important in our society. However, options 3 and 4 touched my heart/soul deeply and I knew that these options are to be the focus of this month’s mandala of the month.
