I drew this image on my way from the Hudson Valley to NYC, via the Metro North railroad.

​

I sat in my seat, looked out the window, as we zoomed past the Hudson River. I started to feel contemplative, and I wanted to connect with myself, so a mandala was the direction with my colored pencils and my paper.

​

There was something delightful about creating this image. The shading, the obvious central focus, and it was relaxing.

​

This image has brought some people joy that I've passed in my life. I'm grateful this came into my life.
