Peony Flower Drawing
I used Crayola color pencils.
Is this finished? I don’t think so. I have more ideas. There’s a lot of blank space on this paper.

Gladiolus Flower Drawing
Today I wanted to draw. I had a few minutes to sit down in my studio.
Inspiration Flower
Gladiolus
- Comes from Latin word gladius
- Gladius means sword
- Associated with gladiators
- Flower resembles a sword
- Symbolizes strength, infatuation and passion
- Used as a symbol of protection during the gladiator era
I really enjoyed this coloring illustration.

Illustrating Flowers
I started a new journal. This one is 5″x8″ journal that will be dedicated to flowers.
The book In Bloom, has wonderful illustrations and directions on how to draw flowers from around the world.
Currently I am sketching the flowers. Then next week while waiting to be called in for jury duty. I will finish the sketch using pens or color pencils. Not sure yet.
I will post more as they get completed.

#2 mandala
This is a more delicate doodle. I felt calmer on this day.
Part of me wants to color this, but the other part wants to keep it black and white.
Pray for Ukraine.

#1 mandala
I am challenging myself to draw/doodle a mandala. Mandalas help to decrease anxiety and stress. I want to try to draw 30 mandalas. I know I will not do them daily and that’s not the point.
This is done with a black pen. Sometimes I like to keep more open spaces in my doodles.
I have been stressed with deciding if I leave my job. I decided to stay as I really want to work remotely. I don’t think at this time with the world events I should work from home. I feel more people will want office visits to keep human contact.
I also was stressed about life. I realized that I’m trying to be happy through a job, but it’s a job I’m no longer feeling fulfilled at.
Peace. Let’s pray for Ukraine.

30 Drawings of Mandalas
Drawing Challenge
This challenge is to doodle 30 mandalas. Why, you ask? Just for fun, and to get myself focused on art and creativity again.
I am working out of a hardback sketch book, 8″ x 11″ using a black pen and crayons, color pencils or gel pens. This is something I can do before I go to sleep. Resting my legs under my weighted blanket after a long day. With my work schedule, taking care of my pets and resting my body, I won’t be able to finish these in 30 days. The outcome will be having 30 doodle mandalas.
I started drawing this evening. Here is my rheumatoid arthritis hand. Swollen, puffy and joints are in pain from all the drawing.
The completed drawing will be posted later…
Happy Day

Day 8: Black and White- in Art Work
These are my black and white doodle drawings. I want to get back into designing these again.

Bookmark Art
As I sit under many blankets plus the weighted blanket, coloring is calling me.
I grabbed some of my bookmarks and gel pens and headed to relax my legs.
It’s another night of my legs feeling swollen and achy. That’s what happens with rheumatoid arthritis and edema.
I must confess, I have been eating too much sugar and not enough fruits. Tomorrow back to my strict eating. (Gluten free dairy free and soy free, eliminate sugar.) And I need to buy melon as it helps to release fluid in my body.
Happy Day
