D.C.: Maria

our blog friend 

Patrice A.

offered the drawing challenge: Maria

a name

in religion: mother and child

dark spots on the moon

the sea is in this word: mar

for some reason i kept thinking of a woman

she holds the entire world and even universe in her heart,

her body

simply in the ability to give birth to life

i felt the spiritual stance of stillness

with love

and acceptance

and this is the drawing that came

i will also share an older piece

a spiritual vision in the form of a woman
hovering

above the sea

Thank you Patrice

for being our lovely host!

yesterday...

I was here:

Montana sure is beautiful as Autumn begins to color the days

and crisp starry nights

(tiny light fleck in the sky is the moon)

Playful Life

simple lines

expressing 

the joy of life

 face #4 for 29 Faces

taking walks

one often finds themselves 

rock hopping

or playful balancing

or 

being amazed at the various colors

and so they end up in some of my drawings

Feathers Filled my Week

she could have chosen any sort of hair

hair of spider webs and dew drops

hair of pine cones or leaves

but she

wanted

feathers

~

this week i have been drawing feathers

last week painting feathers

i am surprised i am not dreaming of feathers

these sketches were done with a pen

no pencil

i remember when my sketches would have more erasing than drawing ;-)

so it is quite wonderful to sit with a pen

and enjoy the process

and results
