Reflection


quietly
deeply
she sat
until the light of the candle's flame 
reminded her of her own light
~

i came across a sketch i did a while back:


I let it inspire this painting
what the first photo does not show is that there is an iridescent 
gold  aura around the fairy and the candles flame, oh well
~


thank you for a wonderful month Alaya!

Pink Polka Dots


a long long time ago
sent me this piece of muslin that she had prepared for painting 
by painting with ivory acrylic paint and then sanding

i finally used it!
it was a joy to create on!

Thank you Lynne

A feeling of Familiarity


it is so interesting 
when i create a piece of art 
and 
it looks like someone in my life

something about this reminds me of my dear friend Abigail and her girls
~

i started this as a loose watercolor painting
then last night i used copic markers to pull it all together
never married those two mediums before
it was fun

D.C.: Maria


our blog friend 
offered the drawing challenge: Maria
a name
in religion: mother and child
dark spots on the moon
the sea is in this word: mar

for some reason i kept thinking of a woman
she holds the entire world and even universe in her heart,
her body
simply in the ability to give birth to life

i felt the spiritual stance of stillness
with love
and acceptance
and this is the drawing that came

i will also share an older piece

a spiritual vision in the form of a woman
hovering
above the sea

Thank you Patrice
for being our lovely host!

also sharing with 29 faces

Flowers and Petals


she threw petals to the earth
to the earth
and 
she will throw petals
and flowers to the earth
until our hearts receive them

Little Pen sketches


tiny faces
sketched with a pen

I was here:

Montana sure is beautiful as Autumn begins to color the days
and crisp starry nights
(tiny light fleck in the sky is the moon)

my scanner is not large enough
and it is too dark to photograph

so here is the best glimpse

Little Cutie


i did this piece after watching one of Micki Wilde's lessons from her class
Paint Happy

Micki is a wonderful teacher who is entirely generous in her lessons, you might want to consider her class.

Playful Life


simple lines
expressing 
the joy of life





taking walks
one often finds themselves 
rock hopping
or playful balancing
or 
being amazed at the various colors

and so they end up in some of my drawings

She walks with Feather


She walks with Feather
~

this page had gesso on it
(a very smooth Italian Gesso)
then i chose watercolor
a slippery  mix
the watercolor always sits on top of the gessoed surface,
can be moved around over and over 
with a wet brush


~

Carmen has inspired me to show you all a photo 
of the lake i was sitting at when i sketched the art I shared yesterday:
Lake Bowman, Glacier National Park, Montana

Sharing with Martha's

i know, there are two faces
spiritually, they are one
;-)

Whose Footsteps?


from her realm 
she gazed to the one below
and wondered
at those beautiful footsteps
~

it began like this:

i carved a stamp:

close up for 29 Faces:

sharing face #1
