My mom was born on the cusp of autumn, but her favorite season is undoubtedly summer. Her favorite flower, the lilac, blooms in May and June.
I typically stick to the current season when theming mandalas like this, but I made this coloring page as a birthday gift to her. If you’ve ever had the chance to smell one you may understand why they are her favorite!
This took so much time and energy to create. This is actually my second attempt as the first one did not turn out the way I wanted! I poured hours into the first one too, It was very difficult to allow myself to start over, but I’m really glad I did.
I’m so grateful I did this one digitally, it was hard enough without having to draw the exact same thing 4 more times! That’s not to say I wouldn’t… It would certainly take me a lot longer though!
