Spirit of a Flower


like rose petals
her skin was toned
milky pinks
sweet lavenders
eyes with depth
spirit of a flower

i have a art journal i made
fairly large pages
it is my large face book
i like doing large faces sometimes
simply to explore lots and lots of detail

Stillman & Birn Art Journal


recently i received a sketchbook make by Stillman and Birn

I Love it!

it is 7x7 inches wirebound
the paper is gorgeous at 180 lb.
and does great with watercolors!



I have been disappointed with many art papers for not holding up to wet paint,
but NOT this journal!


Thank you Stillman & Birn for your gorgeous art paper!
I look forward to trying your other journals.

this little fairy finds joy in sprinkling love upon our land

Her Gentle Gaze

her gentle gaze



the colors in first image are fairly accurate
it is hard to photograph art on this dark evening
days grow shorter as we move towards winters Solstice

Medicine Man


spirit of a medicine man
with feathers he did dance
and 
he pranced
for he knew he was a wonderfully unique
creature
the sort that brought magic to all he did meet
a treasure for any who he may greet
~

I have been putting original art 
in my Etsy shop
find:
let him be your lucky charm

Accepting Life


yes tears
are a part of life
deep feelings flow 
like the vast ocean
tears of joy
tears of sadness
and
acceptance
of being with what is
~
this piece was made by sketching with Tombow markers 
then taking a wet brush to it
then laying on more markers
 then more wet brush
then in the end a wee bit of prismacolor pencils 
sharing another glimpse of Italy:

Young Lass


she is a young lass
that came to life
while in Italy
she is part of the land
the trees were inspired by trees i saw there:

A Cheeky Gal


a cheeky gal
with narrowed eyes
a pleasant look on all of life
~
wild cherries (?)
these remind me of her hair...
Shutters from Italy:
even the simple details, wonderfully artful

Thank You Jerry's Artarama!



this face is larger than life at 10x13 inches 
so many layers of pencil and watersoluable markers

the true color is between the top and bottom image

she is most certainly of the Fae family

She


it is not by her ears or wings that we know
it is in her spirit that tells us
she is of another realm
~

this piece has been quite hard to photograph accurately
the eye detail above is a little darker than the original 
the other two pieces are a bit lighter

layers 
and layers
of pencil and markets
were used to create her face
this is a fairly large piece 
with hair 10"x22"
