Fox and Friend


 the wee fox sat
in conversation
with his friend
who wandered the spiral path


this bolete grew on my lawn this week
UNTIL
a wee squirrel came and took it away
i wish i had seen that

for my squirrels are tiny
twice as big as this edible fungi

sweet Sunday and beyond to you!

Nearing Spring Equinox


I came across a photo someone took of me
at Hearst Castle

this is such a fun dress to wear

usually i make up the characters in my art
not even looking at photos
it was so much easier drawing from this photo


 Sweet Week to you!
Spring Equinox is nearing

Tilt to Listen, Tilt to Receive


whenever i create a woman with her head tilted to the side
i think of my friends pup, Lucy:


she has snow on her nose in this photo


I created this sketch while flying a couple weeks ago
it took so many layers of paint until i was happy with it

this page had gesso on it
(a very smooth Italian Gesso)
then i chose watercolor
a slippery  mix
the watercolor always sits on top of the gessoed surface,
can be moved around over and over 
with a wet brush

Carmen has inspired me to show you all a photo 
of the lake i was sitting at when i sketched the art I shared yesterday:
Lake Bowman, Glacier National Park, Montana

Faces.....


she came to life in sepia shades
they suited her spirit well


I seem to have faces scattered
throughout my cabin
piles and piles


of wee tiny faces

i believe the one above came to life
as i tested black pens in different thicknesses
to see which one i wanted to use

do you have faces piling up in your home?

Red Hair Emerald Eyes


faces are a joy to create
soothing to create
interesting to create
her face is made with colored pencils
hair with watercolors

today i drove north and saw the Kokanee Salmon swimming upstream
spawning
beautiful red orange amongst the rocks and water
light and sunshine
 such a delight!

She


it is not by her ears or wings that we know
it is in her spirit that tells us
she is of another realm
~

this piece has been quite hard to photograph accurately
the eye detail above is a little darker than the original 
the other two pieces are a bit lighter

layers 
and layers
of pencil and markets
were used to create her face
this is a fairly large piece 
with hair 10"x22"
