Flower and Petals

letting nature's colors 

carry into my art:

tamarack baby cone and needles budding

Crown

in her sleep

day or night

she always had a crown upon her head

a star at her heart

a deep sense of care 

for all the peoples of the world

as well as the life in the stones, stars, trees and creatures

for that is the duty of royalty

Dreaming

she wanted to be an elf

she heard rumors that there was elf blood in her lineage

most certainly elf spirit

drawn to the colors of the forest 

she dressed like a tree

and 

autumn colors

even though it is spring

Spirals and Swirls

She is a lady of peace

a watcher

a holder of sacred space

~

My palette had left over watercolors from the last painting.

I wanted to play,

sprayed water on the colors to bring them to live, ready to use.

Painted the above swirly spiraling lines letting colors blend into one another. 

After it dried i noticed a subtle face:

Much texture appears in the paper of this photograph, more than the scanner picks up in the first photo.

That is how she came to life, 

I found her in the swirls of color.

Mythical Being

a friendly land

of mythical beings

perhaps a bit enchanted

lit

by stars, sun

and candlelight

~

this weekend i went away
to the wilderness of Polebridge
returned home to more wild
a great gray owl flew through
and landed:

 such an honor to see

body of the goddess

Prayer

sitting

upon the lavender rock

DC: Pink Horse

they stand in their dignity

that is the only stance they know

in their stance they are given strength

and 

power

to be who they are

perhaps it is that simple

at times:

stand tall

breathe true

feel who you are

be
