Sometimes it is fun to take paint to paper and see what shows up. 

This time a spring landscape.

~

My poor blog has been left alone for a long time, Instagram seems to get more of my time and attention.

I hope you all have enjoyed a lovely spring. 

I feel quite happy to be in this season, the freshness of plants and flowers and lovely fickle weather.

Songs of birds that have returned fill the air,

orchids bloom in the forest:

Spring Fairies

 

I adore when two seasons mingle

the liminal space  they create.

There is a quality to life,

the air, soil and spirit of these times 

is unique medicine for ones spirit.

Pause breathe and enjoy.

We woke to 8 inches of fresh snow Sat.

 Lovely Spring to you!

Magical Realm

 

As the season turns, autumn to winter, 

I am taking another one of Páivi's classes, called: Joyful Coloring. 

It is all watercolor pencils. So drawing and then painting over the pencil lines with a wet brush. 

It has been quite fun and interesting.

Flower Being

 

I love how there is no plan for this art.

just lots of play and then sensing....

Sensing who wants to show up on the paper.

Feels like beings from other realms, who want

to live in our realm in the form of art.

Painting Flowers

 

Another flower landscape.

It is fun painting flowers on a snowy day.
The snow all melted away and it feels like autumn again. 

That is how autumn is in NW Montana, a lovely training for flowing with change, 28 times each day ;-)

I am taking a class from Páivi of Peony and Parakeet

I love her art and she is a wonderful teacher. 

She has some videos on YouTube if you want to experience her teaching before considering a class.

I woke to our second snowfall today, around 2"

Then it rained all day and still coming down into the night. 

My little birds were all wet:

And my fingers got SO cold. 

Tis glove season.

Open and Receive

 

He stepped from the autumn woods

to find her

offering golden light

Feels so good to complete a painting.

I started this in July

life had some other plans for me, besides painting.

Now I get to start another painting, wahoo

~

I hope you are all enjoying our new season.

There is something about the thresholds of seasons,

the air holds a different energy

two seasons greeting one another

dancing back and forth. 

A heightened sense of life perhaps. 

Here in NW Montana 

it feels as though we have truly entered autumn, 

summer has vanished.

Lovely autumn to you!
