DC: Swanlights

wonderfully creative Stefanie

is hosting this weekends Drawing Challenge

using the inspiration Swanlights

the above painting is a sketch i created on a plane in October

never got around to completing it

this music felt a bit melancholy to me

perfect for the raindrops and tears

Precious Whisper

in a quiet converstation

she learned that humans need to care

for honey bees

 tis essential to all life

 they shared this in a precious whisper

Accepting Life

yes tears

are a part of life

deep feelings flow 

like the vast ocean

tears of joy

tears of sadness
and

acceptance

of being with what is

~
this piece was made by sketching with Tombow markers 
then taking a wet brush to it
then laying on more markers
 then more wet brush
then in the end a wee bit of prismacolor pencils
