Scribble Picnic: black and white

I drew the white bits with a masking liquid pen

and let it dry

then wet the sky with water and dropped black ink into it

(I learned this technique from Stephanie Law's

youtube video, thank you Stephanie!) 

the landscape was painted with pure black ink

when dry I rubbed the masking away revealing the white

It was a fun thing to do and I think I would enjoy trying it again

~

visit:

Scribble Picnic 

to enjoy art by others for our theme.

Thank you Michael

Morchella

with our mountains on fire

we begin to dream of spring

mushrooms

the delectable morel fungi

they spring from the soil the year after a forest wildfire
beacons of new life

Cabin: for Scribble Picnic

home sweet home

~ 

This weeks theme for Scribble picnic: Cabin

I pretty much did a portrait of my home life,

except that it is still seriously winter here. 

Last week I saw grizzly bear tracks in our area, 

they ended up in the painting of my wee cabin.

(see side bar to see my home)

Thank you for hosting Michael

Winter Solstice

on the shortest day of the year

for a bit more light

each day

AC: Room {with a view}

painting inspired by my world

(as most of my art is):

 

Porch with a View

lovely Nadine of tinyWOOLF

is our host this weekend 

she chose the theme:

room

as in: the room we create in

or

owning a space

and

does it have a view

well recently i looked out my window and saw this big owl

a Great Gray

the world around me often inspires my art

sitting in the corner of my couch

next to a good light

i sketch and paint

last year i painted

the view from my door: 

this week

the view from my porch

summer is a great time to sit on the porch!

lovely last days of Summer

or perhaps Winter

to you 

~

thank you for getting our fun weekends up and going Nadine!

Perched on Her Toes

Perched on Her Toes

a balanced stance

contemplating

the inner realm

Bear and Birds

most certainly

living with bears,

though i rarely see them

is influencing my days

because i think of them when i walk out my door

they are in my dreams as well

i love thinking how I have seen them eating grass and flowers

and how one might find a bird sitting on them

~

Fairy Ring

standing in the fairy ring

feeling the magic
of the earth, mushrooms and Fae
 rise through her

until she felt vitality, love and light
in every cell of her being

~

yesterday I posted the inked version 

 

and now the painted version

it was fun to let the fairy rings in my lawn inspire this piece

~

sweet week to you!
