Grow in Love ~ © Sue O’Kieffe 2009
Trees are one of my favorite symbols. When I was drawing it, it asked to have hearts for leaves. Love is one of my favorite themes. In fact I would say that my art — my digital mandalas and my line drawings –are all about love. I create with Love, I share with Love. My creative impulses are heart- centered.
I decided to play with neocolors in this mandala. It’s a medium Im not as comfortable using as I am my crayons or colored pencils. I think I’d like to take a watercolor class just for a little more confidence, learn the right brushes, and when to stop. But overall I like how the basic image looks and the feeling it conveys.

Stretching that artistic muscle are you? This is fantastic!! I “love” that you put hearts as leaves, I never would’ve thought of that!! I have no clue about neocolors but I think it’s always good to try something new, it will only add to your repertoire!!
This is absolutely beautiful, feeling, emoting, and embracing those who look at it! I love it!
This is lovely.
It’s very nice, Sue. Well balanced and the colors are just right. Good for you for starting from love.
