Lady in White ~


stars for thoughts
stars surround
stars at night
and always around
stars in blue
i offer to you
stars of my heart
~



 two posts ago I shared my fairy drawing
often when I get to the part where I choose a hair color
well I love it white

white hair
is something I am exploring 
in my art

 

This is a tiny watercolor
almost 4x6 inches
that I did yesterday
it is made on a piece of Khadi Paper
that wonderful artist and woman
Lynne Hoppe gave me. 
I loved working on it!

For the first time I am offering an original painting
for sale

find it in: the shop

Visit Lovely Lady Sopia's: Sunday sketches 
to enjoy 
wonderful art!

  1. I just love your drawings and paintings! :) The first one so pretty with the blue in the eyes and the star.. and the eyes themselves!!
    The last composition.. I agree with you, the white hair makes it good!:)

  2. The first is a goddess, possessing that wonderful celestial calm; the second is far more human in that appraising look ... more capable of mischief, too, I suspect. Love the delicacy of the watercolor; gorgeous shading; gorgeous hair, too!

  4. Hello Viola,

    Thank you for your loving! You have inspired a smile.
    I am having fun with white hair, so far I have three, but I am thinking of doing a number more... for fun, a white hair theme.

    Anno,

    I love looking at my art fresh through your eyes.
    Thank you.

    warmth,

    Tammie

  16. I have never thought about leaving the hair white. That is very pretty. I like the stars on the first girl. And what a sweet poem.

  17. She is lovely, Tammie. Love how you did her hair - it really makes her face stand out even more. Nice job. :)

  18. I love, love your use of whitespace in these. I especially love the pattern added to the hair in the top one. Very creative. :-)

  19. I find white such a challenge in watercolour - it rarely shows up for me. You did a beautiful and effective job with their white hair, Tammie!.

    Lovely!

  22. Wow! These are wonderful... Love the star hair and her face. She is so enchanting and magical. The second one might be my favorite of yours ... Ever. There is something so unique and mysterious and stark about her... Raw in a way... Can't explain it but that is part of what makes her great. Love her. You are on a roll!

  23. lovely usage of white, love the stars

    ReplyDelete
  24. Breathtaking! I love the stars in her hair. And yes, I love white hair except on my head. The soft shading and rendering of her beautiful face is great against the "flatness" of her starry hair!

    ReplyDelete
  25. This is just beautiful, so ethereal! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Fantastic! I agree - the white looks just right :)

  31. So cite! Love tha hair on the first one.

  32. OOOOOOO...the second is my absolute favorite. I love the looseness of the paint and her coloring. In the first, I really like the star patterned details in her hair.

    I agree with another commenter that your style fits so nicely with your poetry.

  39. Hello dear Friend! Thank you so much for your visit and for saying you missed me! Made me smile... now seeing what I missed this past Sunday has made me smile again! I love how you used white hair! I HAVE to try this, you just do it so well, she's beautiful! Your little painting is adorable too!
    Hope you are seeing more and more signs of spring there, I bet it is just beautiful to watch it unfold after such a cold winter!

    Missed your gentle beautiful influence in my weekend; I do look forward to sharing all of your wonderfully soothing and creative art and poetry.

    Smiles and hugs

  41. Lovely, your little painting... + thanks for your kind note at Gerdiary...

  42. OH! Tammie! I love the faces you draw. I like the white hair, too. You would not know that since I was a little girl, I've wanted silver hair to my knees.

    It's not silver yet--though I see touches here and there--and it isn't to my knees yet, either. It's waist-length. lol

    Your drawings are so lovely. I think I would recognize your artwork anywhere. ((hugs)) It is lovely.

  43. Your lady in white is gorgeous. More and more in your illustrations I'm seeing a children's book - a modern-day fairy story on thick, quality paper.
