celebrate

celebrate

dance to the music!

yea, it is the middle of Summer!

Enjoy each day

leap with joy

delight in treasures throughout the land

as this wee fae does

she hears the music in the air

amongst fungi folk

with the beautiful flowers

the tall mighty trees

as well as the bees

happy lammas to all those in summer

happy imbolc to those in winter

whimsical bodies

Wand

with a wand

life is charmed

recently i found the above piece in sketch form

and changed it quite a bit

fun how if we create one day a piece looks a certain way

and if we create another day 

an entirely new inspiration!

*

 recently i came across this piece that i did as a child:

Scratch art

I forgot I drew things like this when i was a child

funny, my art has not changed all that much

Depth of Quiet

the depth of quiet

eternal

rich

sublime

~

so interesting to draw/paint her

as above, a meditative expression

and 

then to lay her this way:

she slept amongst the flowers

feeling the soil as her flesh

resting in the embrace of eternity

nourished in stillness sublime

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"

~

Elfin Light

it's the light that caught her eye
not the wildly fun fungi scattered in the forest
for they were her friends and she knew they were there
but the light
it called her name
whispering of the magic that ran in her veins

~

there is a lot of metallic paint in this piece
photos rarely show this fact...
