D.C.: Order and Chaos

nest: a sacred vessel

eggs: the perfect order for the promise of life

wee ones are born

then chaos begins 

big smile

this week i have been working on two paintings with owls

in them

THEN i had an amazing encounter with THREE

Great Gray owls

a mother and two fledglings

it was at dusk, when they come out to hunt

so the photo is grainy:

Barbara Bee offered the prompt:

Order and Chaos

some how i feel that all life is contained in this theme

the word 'trust' comes to mind

sometimes we can not see where all the tiny details are heading
where they all end up
perhaps chaos leads to order
or at least it can
*
thank you Barbara 

for inspiring an interesting contemplation

Also:

a branch broke in a tree this week

it seemed like an arm offering this nest so that i could see it
previously it was hidden to my sight

such amazing 'order' in the way it is made!

grass

moss

lichen

mud

nicely glued to the branch

a sacred vessel 

for the eggs and babies it held

Pink Realm

she lives in a pink realm

soft edges

ephemeral borders

skin transparent to energy tender

fluttering friends

her pink sky 

filled with the sweet scent of lilies

yes she lives in a pink realm

that holds true to a soft heart

that sings purely

this piece started with a sketch I shared with you a couple of weeks ago:

I colored her face with prismacolor pencils 

I love doing that

then I cut her out of the page

and prepared a 7"x16" piece of plywood with bits of colored paper, napkins and paint:

for the first time I coated the piece with beeswax

oh how i love 

yes LOVE

the scent of beeswax

plus it makes for a soft realm:

 though the very first photo in this post is the completed piece

from that photo it is hard to see the texture and softness that these side views show

born a princess

born
a princess to life
embracing pleasures
as well as strife
dignity must reign sublime
open to seraphim
divine

It is so interesting to learn multi media art!

To take a drawing that feels good and to tear the face out and adhere it to wood,

then to mess with it, layer after layer

well it is a bit scary, fun and exciting.
I had no idea where I was going with this, she unfolded day after day
glimpse after glimpse
feeling after feeling.
