Watercolor Mandala

My friend’s birthday was Monday, so on Sunday I painted this watercolor mandala for her, complete with her spirit animal, the turtle, as one of the motifs. I learned the process from Calvin of Drifter Studio Water Color Mandala lesson on YouTube. I have his watercolor paper and current brush set. After watching it, I created my own version for Nancy.

And we had lunch on Monday with friends to celebrate. I gave her one of my tea towels from Spoonflower because she almost always brings us each flowers when we eat lunch.
