DC: underwear



some tasks are so important that one flees into the woods
in what ever they have on
even in their underwear



the ink drawing 
before painting

 and 
below my woodland model

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:



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
