Lemon Cookie Mandala - (Summer Circle Series) - © Sue O'Kieffe 2008Here is a little known fact about me: I prefer lemon to chocolate or vanilla. I love how refreshing, clean and stimulating it is.Did you know lemon essential oil is used to stimulate the mind?
When I created this mandala (so long ago I cant remember what I used as a source image!), it reminded me of a frosted lemon cookie. It also reminded me of a sun...which just happens to be one of my favorite symbols.
So here I am celebrating my 57th birthday! In the coming year I want to learn more about photography (classes start Sept 10th), continue exploring the world of doodles (have you been to My OthEr BLoG yet?), learn more about digital drawing (HeLLo Adobe Illustrator!), and continue to have FUN FUN FUN.
Thank you all for being part of my world, for sharing your inspirations, for honoring my art. Here's to another great year!

Weren't mandalas originally to center the mind? From outside, any outside to the middle, and peace.
This one is beautiful, and certainly lemony.
