life has extremes
deep black of night and shadow
mixed with soft glow of pink feminine
blue of clear sky and her eyes
walking in this world as well as the celestial divine
path of being woman

fairy slipper season is here
a lovely wild orchid

I have been enjoying lessons from Jane Davenport who is teaching through 21 Secrets.
This painting was created following her latest lesson.
Jane is a wonderful artist, generous and inspiring teacher, she brings the best out of her students!

I love the strong contrast here, the strength combined with tenderness, echoes of line & color seen in the fairy slipper. Beautiful, Tammie. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTammie,
ReplyDeleteI visited your blog to day for the first time.
Thank you for such a beautiful and amazing adventure.

Oh my! Love the pairing of the black hair and bright blue eyes against all the soft pink. Fantastic shaded contours in her face, too. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYears ago someone once said I reminded them of an orchid. I did not like orchids then--I thought I might be more like a rose. But the wild orchid, living in harmony with the woodlands--that appeals to me, now that I'm a little older and wiser.
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely drawing.
i love lifes mix.. of light and dark. your girl looks like a healer:)
