find goddess of autumn
within dancing leaves
hanging from trees
flitting earthbound
her eyes in the equinox moon
presence of the seasons tune
partake of her spirit
as you breath crisp air
dance under the moon
wear new autumn hues

for my artists friends who enjoy seeing the beginning to the end,
this time I started by mapping out a grid, practice you know.

I wish you all a lovely Autumn.
Treat yourself to enjoy the crisp air
the colors
and
the obvious dance of change.
Happy Equinox
and
Blessed Mabon
to one and all!

ReplyDeleteI love the leafy hair of Lady Mabon.
I like the drawing and it's great to see the process, great colors and shading on the face, I always sem a fanstasy element in your artwork and this is a wonderful piece

As for me, you are quite right. I draw in pencil, then scan it, clean it up in Photoshop and color it in Illustrator. A glorified coloring book, I am. :)

Welcome To link in a poem to our potluck today, thanks a ton!
ReplyDeletehttp://jinglepoetry.blogspot.com/2010/10/poetry-potluck-seven-deadly-sins.html
hope to see you in,
you could use an old poem.
What an amazing entry. You are one creative individual. I really love your artwork. Especially this one. The way you did her hair like that is awesome, you also make amazing facial expressions in your work. I suck at trying to make a face look any different than just a dead expression
