DC: Images

what do these images inspire in you

a memory, thought,

inspiration,

desire,

do they ignite your imagination?

i love laying on the earth

cloud watching

i also enjoy that the word 'image' 

is held warmly within the word 'imagination'

Thank you nadine of tinyWOOLFE

for hosting DC with the theme: Image

 i have a question for you

below is this piece at the watercolor stage

the one above is the finished version

which i simply went over pencil lines and added white highlights

which do you like best?

one day this week

a new visitor 

a Yellow Finch or American Goldfinch

Lovely

though she seems dressed for a warmer day than we have

she does have an atmosphere of the color of early spring

hanging on the island

Elf and Plaid

playing with movement in fabric

and watercolors

mostly used three colors

red, yellow and blue

all the colors below came from them

i might have used a couple more in the elf painting above

Spring is still unfolding here

i found flowers yesterday:

flowers are like a beautiful heart smile

to me

sweet weekend to you!

 

Yogini and Friends

I believe this began by spying the shape of an elephant in the texture of a tile floor

it sat in my sketchbook for months

the other day.... the yogini joined in

then the scene

it was not until i tossed her clothing and boots on the forest floor 

that it all came together for me

I enjoy the mystery of each piece

I shared this photo

the top of a small pine tree

on my photography blog

i am so moved by it

that i will also share it here

the protective needles

the protective skin on the flowers? in the shape of a star

is that where people got the idea of a star on top of a Christmas tree?

Someone thought this is a fir tree. 

Do any of you know what sort of pine or what we are seeing here?
