Round Ancient Roman Structures Mandala in Color by Maureen Frank (me)
This week’s MotD theme: Round Ancient Roman Structures
I present my coloring/painting of this week’s Mandala of the Week: Round Ancient Roman Structures (fromSunday’s MotD post). I decided to paint the arches a more realistic color and the background blue as if seeing the sky through the arches. Then I thought it would be fun to draw white “arches” over the blue.
I used watercolors and a white gel pen.
Inspiration for Today
An archway represents strength, stability, lightness, and openness. Today’s mandala encourages us to connect with our own strength, stability, lightness, and openness.
“Better was it to go unknown and leave behind you an arch, then to burn like a meteor and leave no dust.” – Virginia Woolf
Happy Coloring!

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
