Sunday Sketches


Greetings dear art friends,

this week i cleaned out my ink pen
got the ink flowing
and challenged myself to sketch


 this means
no pencil
no erasing
living with each and every line
living with what is



I enjoyed imagining
each line on the paper
before I ever let the pen begin


Sunday Night begins the 
I would love it if you would visit my post, by clicking on this link: OWOH

(and to see my latest piece of art ;-} )

Please join us at Sophia's Sunday Sketches

and/or to enjoy the art of my artist friends!

Heart, the Natural Art


live with heart
the natural art
feel alive
and akin
within
~


as Valentine's day approaches
I find myself wanting to let the human heart
the universal and divine heart
influence my art

I forgot to take a scan of my original sketch, 
still I share this for:
Sophia's  Sunday Sketches

Hearts

~

this heartful lady is my first nudie cutie

I finished her before the piece in the last post.....
I look at her and wish I could change her face,
but decided to share her anyway. 
She has a slinky body like the fisher I saw a week ago.

She Says


fly to the light
she says

sun light
star light
inner light

let it fill each cell
of your body

bathe in it's glory

then exhale this light
with every breath
into our lovely world

nourish and be nourished
in this intimate exchange
with light
~


Our days have been gray and rainy
funny thing, no sunlight
so I had to scan this and you can not tell that it is shimmery paint
*

On Sunday treat yourself and visit Sophia's
where artist share their sketches
or even join us!

Born as Two, Spirit of One


 in her spirit
lives a wolf
keenly in tune
with the tapestry of life
willing to share
with those experiencing strife
they
born as two
yet spirit of one
sharing silver hearts
as they wander wild parts
of our land
~




to enjoy sketches from wonderful artists... 

yesterday
following tracks in the woods
I stirred up a mammal, that is new to me
we think it is a mink:


so fun to see!

Listening ~


 listening to the spirit
that lies beneath

allowing it's languid and lively presence
to permeate awareness
as well as stance

grace rises
within each breath

each step becoming vital 
a true place to allow life
to rise from

abiding in a heart of tender knowing

deep peace

~




As we enter 2011
I wish you a year that feels wonderful to you

may you have courage to honor your dreams
your highest truth

I feel thankful for your kind friendship 
the ways you have shared with me
the ways we grow and learn together

thank you all for sharing 2010 with me
I look forward to a lovely 2011 with each and every one of you

with heartfelt warmth, 
Tammie
