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

~

Sharing with 29 Faces

with a wonderful tail

Pink Polka Dots

a long long time ago

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 

Patrice A.

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!

and 

she will throw petals

and flowers to the earth

until our hearts receive them

yesterday...

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)

Cake

so some of the trees got cut out of this.... 

my scanner is not large enough

and it is too dark to photograph

so here is the best glimpse

so it is more than a face
a landscape, fairy, owl, and
CAKE

Offering, A Flower

she hides her special gift

to offer

at just the right moment

when she wears her peach aura
she feels held by the universe

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

 face #4 for 29 Faces

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

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:

Sharing with Martha's

29 Faces for September

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

with 29 Faces!

for the month of September

all participants will attempt to post one face a day

for 29 days

wahoo
