Little Mermaid, face 3

 this face and yesterdays were done in a tiny (3.5x5 inches) sketchbook

it was a Kickstarter project that was funded

it is called:

The Perfect Sketchbook

tiny faces are usually quite challenging for me

so a tiny book is good practice

a tiny mermaid

to enjoy faces by other artists

Earthling Waterling

 In my last post, I shared the original sketch for these pieces

with a poem about how a sketch is the beginning  of a dream. 

I took that sketch and made two very different pieces.

Earthling Waterling

one life a mermaid

one life a modern gal

dwelling in the water world

walking on the earth

waves and wind caressing elements

simply being with what is

eternally

~

 This modern gal is done with prismacolor pencils and a Faber Castell Pitt pen,

6"x12" Nature Sketch Pad 130 LB..

The Mermaid piece is done with watercolor pencils and crayons,

11"x14" Canson Britol Smooth, 100 LB.

Guest Artist and Friend

My dear friend Abigail Folk celebrated my birthday with me last week

there were flowers

sushi

heartfelt conversation

and a gift

of this wonderful painting she made, for me

my companion word for this year is 'listen'

and she included it

over the heart

it is a wonderful word to learn from

gift yourself with a visit to her blog; Rusted Wings  

and her etsy shop: Rusted Wings Gallery

friendships are a treasured gift

and we have enjoyed sharing with one another for over 30 years!
a heartfelt thank you Abigail!

I have to say, I had a wonderful time celebrating

with many friends 

over many days last week!

My heart leans to all of you

for celebrating and sharing life with me!

This week I am working on a mermaid piece of art:

 I have transferred this to wood

and am in the midst of painting it

hoping to share the finished piece with you

in the next couple of days

Usually today is Sunday Sketches

with the lovely lady Sophia

but her father is not well

so let us all send light and prayers to her and her father

and family.
