DC: Sky

when Eric offered: Sky

as our DC inspiration

first I went far off into the universe

a sky of dancing planets

then sunset 

the gold spots are masking fluid 

that went bad

it will not rub off

so glad this was not a piece i put a lot of time into

i wanted them to be stars

i suppose i could use white paint on them

but i wanted to share that masking fluid does not always work

i suppose good to test on scrap paper first

because it is spring

a butterfly in flight 

in pink morning light

Thank you for being our host Eric!

Visit Eric's artful place to see who all is creating

with the inspiration sky this weekend.

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:

Butterfly Girl

her wings
made of energy
only some could see
she
a quiet flighty one
full of dreams yet to be

if you sense into her heart
you'll find a spiral dance
you'll sense her wings of dancing light
a bit like a butterfly's stance
~

oh! her face is so pink in this scan, her face is more light peach
and her top and hair a gray, oh well.

I have begun taking 21 Secrets

began with Jane Davenport's class

she asked to show her our 'doodle'

you know, what ever little thing that we have been sketching throughout life

well I have been sketching little energy spheres like in the wings above forever

do you have a doodle?
