Scribble Picnic

Michael at Scribble Picnic gave us a shape to use in art this week:

at first I thought to use it in a tribal design

when I set pencil to paper

these little houses came to life

art is endlessly amusing to me that way

as though it has a mind of it's own

Thank you for hosting Michael

visit Scribble Picnic 

to see what others created wth this shape

Scribble Picnic: Blanket

the night forest was 

lit up

by the light of the full moon

wrapped in a blanket

to keep the autumn chill from her bones

she walked through the night

Sage & Sepia

the magical realm of summer 

of nature

a glimpse

~

first i painted the page a light sage green

let it dry

drew a border in sepia ink, with a dip pen

drew the picture with masking fluid

let it dry

painted over the mask with a light wash of the sepia ink

then peeled the mask away

~

the two little hummingbirds are growing up

eyes still closed

and look the photo is in sage and sepia colors:

~
