like a faceted crystal is my spirit
made of friends from many realms
we blend and flavor our
thoughts
words and deeds
together we are
summer autumn winter
and yes
spring
we breathe bloom
and flower
laugh cry and share
when you meet me
you greet
our universe
our universe

I was so surprised how spring like this piece came out, simply because I have been submersed in winter's spirit for so many months.
Nice to feel in sync with the season.
I sat down to draw the other night, simply wanted to draw a girls face, something familiar, nothing new to learn, something I could be a little mindless with.
Then all these faces showed up one by one.
They felt as though they were aspects of the central person.
Then the poem came.

Wishing one and all a lovely Spring Equinox

The same to you, Tammie. We are off to a grand start here.
ReplyDeleteLove your characters!
I am very fond of the little Leprechaun-ish, elve-y guy on the bottom, with his high cheekbones and his impish little grin.
ReplyDeleteAn enchanted (and enchanting!) community! A lovely welcome to spring ... hope you are enjoying yours.
ReplyDeleteAgain I love how our lives come through in our art and they take on a life of their own! Seasonal rhythm is important to me in raising my family and here we are again, spring! Lovely - and I really like the words of your poem!
ReplyDeleteGreat collage. I love that you incorporated little elements of the different seasons within it also.
ReplyDeleteMeant to say my favorite is the blue hatted girl, I love all their eyes, very expressive, feel like i can see a bit to the other side through them, and love the title, so suiting your wonderful prose!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie!!! I love your dreamy and fun characters!!!! you really had a lot of fun with these and it shows!!!! wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sketches Tammie, and I saw your last painting was finished! It's gorgeous! The deer is perfect! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLots of enchantment to spin some magic. Love what you've done here.
ReplyDeleteThese are very whimsical and sprightly. Great expressions. I love the piece in the blog post below, that is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly cool Tammie! And that it was unplanned makes it even more fascinating!
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me all those characters call for their own stories to be told!
What a soft and wonderful piece and poem! I love that these just flowed to you as you were drawing - they look like they all belong to each other!
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful! I like the white haired lady in the back - have never thought of doing someone with white hair!
Smiles and hope you are having a wonderful week!
Tammy, I love the faces and the words they inspired. So glad you are feeling Spring, it is still a little cold here for me to feel that yet but it is getting closer.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
