Lady of the Tree

said the lady of the tree

to the bird that flew to she

I will be your home

standing strong within the ground

yet pliable with wind and sound

I will hold your nest

nurture to my best

please sing for me

walking in the woods

mamma duck made a mad dash away

from me and the base of a tree

look at what I found:

Pink Realm

she lives in a pink realm

soft edges

ephemeral borders

skin transparent to energy tender

fluttering friends

her pink sky 

filled with the sweet scent of lilies

yes she lives in a pink realm

that holds true to a soft heart

that sings purely

~

this piece started with a sketch I shared with you a couple of weeks ago:

I colored her face with prismacolor pencils 

I love doing that

then I cut her out of the page

and prepared a 7"x16" piece of plywood with bits of colored paper, napkins and paint:

for the first time I coated the piece with beeswax

oh how i love 

yes LOVE

the scent of beeswax

plus it makes for a soft realm:

 though the very first photo in this post is the completed piece

from that photo it is hard to see the texture and softness that these side views show

Earthling Waterling

 In my last post, I shared the original sketch for these pieces

with a poem about how a sketch is the beginning  of a dream. 

I took that sketch and made two very different pieces.

Earthling Waterling

one life a mermaid

one life a modern gal

dwelling in the water world

walking on the earth

waves and wind caressing elements

simply being with what is

eternally

~

 This modern gal is done with prismacolor pencils and a Faber Castell Pitt pen,

6"x12" Nature Sketch Pad 130 LB..

The Mermaid piece is done with watercolor pencils and crayons,

11"x14" Canson Britol Smooth, 100 LB.

original sketch:

Sketching

sketching
beginning of a dream
pencil
erase
not always what it seems
a vision grows
as lines flow
sketching
a vision not yet complete

decided to draw doll like ladies

Knowing Heart for Sunday Sketches

there is a natural knowing

in the heart of a mother

to let love live

in her children

love is passed on to her children

lives on 

in their blood

in their heart

through the knowing

heart of a mother

 ~

I wish everyone a lovely Mother's Day

for everyone

has a mother

I bought some Lyra 'skin tone' pencils. 

I love how different choices of color 

are inspiring in new ways.

I must share with you a mother that I saw in the wilds of Montana last week:

HUGE TREE

Tall Tree

Black bear mama denning in this tree with her two cubs:

Mama, where are you going?

I think I will follow you:

 the little bear did not follow, but any day now.
