Young Lass

she is a young lass

that came to life

while in Italy

she is part of the land

the trees were inspired by trees i saw there:

A Cheeky Gal

a cheeky gal

with narrowed eyes

a pleasant look on all of life

~

wild cherries (?)

these remind me of her hair...

Shutters from Italy:

even the simple details, wonderfully artful

Another Realm

 he appeared through a veil

from another realm

to deliver a message for her spirit only

with silent lips

his arms and hands delivered a vitality of sweet import

 I am still sharing images of the beauty i found in Italy,

i hope you are enjoying seeing glimpses of a artful country.

sharing with Sunday Sketches

and 

my 14th face for 29 Faces

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!

Greeting in the form of a Bow

when one bows to a lady

possibly

a previously unseen doorway may open 

enjoying practicing drawing bodies

along with faces

29 Faces

also, notice that art from behind these pages shows through

not happy with this journal ;-(

Nine Faces Emerge

opening to the hidden faces

rising from the textured background of these pages

i feel intrigue

a bit of surprise

included is delight

~

if you read my last post:

i took a Moleskine Art Journal to Italy

was greatly disappointed in the quality of the pages

yet the pages i had prepared with gesso

held up fine to water techniques, like the one above

also I am sharing two frescoes I photographed in Italy:

Joining 29 faces late

creating art was abundant while in Italy

so i have lots to share

the top piece has 9 faces

the post before; one

so in joining i share ten faces ....

I found that nine faces.... took quite some time to create

Lovely Thursday and beyond to you~

Ciao from Italy~

I am visiting my sister and family in Italia

I love the frescoes on the buildings!

 I also love making art with my niece Sofia

maybe she will let me share her art in another post ~

for now I will share the art I find on buildings here

the painting at the top of this post.... I did in a Moleskine journal

I use to LOVE Moleskine Sketch journals

I hear: the Italian's sold the company to China,

though the paper looks similar, it is garbage! 

Any wet art supply and it warps like a wave in a storm. 

I will not buy another journal from them unless the makers improve the paper!

I simply wanted to share with you my experience with the paper.

Ciao my lovely art friends

face one for 29 faces

Feather Clan

the other day
at a farmer's market
i saw a little old man
perhaps 90 years of age and more
carrying two long feathers
so much taller than him
immediately i began this sketch
perhaps in another he was an elf

Dancing Horse

with the flowers and pink moon

joy is in the mingling

a simply joy

and curiosity

shared

sharing with Sunday Sketches

drawn with inktense pencils

then a wet brush to move the color about
