Day 5 of 29 Faces

beneath these layers of paint

lie a sweet and romantic poem

 

these acrylic faces i have been making 

take so much time!

layers and layers of color and texturing

fun fun fun

Spring

I went to the wilderness (NW Montana) for the last day of winter

the first day of Spring

here we do not have green grass and flowers yet

but the snow melts daily

and 

then snows  again

then rains again

a slow awakening

but we do see signs of life waking up from a long winter nap

and 

the days are longer

equal to the nights

~

i stayed in a tiny 

beautiful log cabin

made by a friend and many of his friends

no running water

no electricity

but it does have a wonderful wood stove

this is my sketch of it

it turned out to be a silent retreat

simply because i did not see anybody

i felt as though time slowed down

with no electricity

my days were full of skiing along the river

walking in Glacier National Park

drawing and painting

yoga 

simple eating

and of course

tending the fire

it was a beautiful way to say farewell to Winter

and a warm hello to Spring

wishing each of you a lovely Spring

warmly,

Dip and Go

it has been a wonderful time creating a face a day for the month of May

I wanted to do something with freer technique this time

meaning

no sketch

simply dip a brush in paint and see what happens

I wanted to do a fast piece, ten minutes

this took much longer

I had to dip that brush in paint over and over again

accented with bits

of white light

and black lashes
