Genie

 while visiting an in between realm
a space between eyes open
and eyes closed
I met him, the Genie
he grants wishes

lovely lady he did say
your wish of wishes is granted today
open your heart
to the light of high arts
your dreams shall manifest
always

Paint Party Friday ~

in the evenings

wanting to do art 

without much thinking

I sketch swiftly

color with watercolor pencils

(loving Derwent Inktense for their vibrant colors)

and quickly brush with water

fun fast(er)

inspiring a looseness in my art, i think

perhaps it is simply fun

but also somehow nurturing

because I loose myself in the moment

a sort of meditation

these three are what I share for PPF

please join us or visit us to enjoy wonderful paintings!

~

also, it is my pleasure to share Amaila K!

Most likely many of you know Amaila, her gorgeous mystically charming art

and her generous sharing heart. 

Recently I ordered dreamy beautiful art from her, 

she was including an amazing gift of a tiny painting for anyone who bought from her store, an ACEO.

The package arrived and was filled with her magic

in the form of art:

Treat yourself by visiting her blog: Translucent Blue

Her Webstore: The Wish Forest

Maybe you too would enjoy purchasing one of her gorgeous pieces!

Thank you Amalia!

Sunday Sketches

extra paint on the palette

oh dear

extra paint on the palette

oh my

brush it on empty pages

for another time

~

went camping a week ago

took watercolor pencils, this pad, water brushes

and colored pencils -

found pages colored with extra paint for the background

this meditative girl now lives on one

*

this wide eyed girl on another

the following sketch I made over a month ago

I will put it on gessoed wood

but have been stuck for my next step

i think it is the background I am uncertain of

I want to learn to plan the background, not make it up as I go

I usually do that latter

also her arms, what does she want to do with her arms

does this happen to you?

perhaps it is because I make art up in my head

perhaps it is time to have a model....

~

part of why I share this sketch

is to challenge myself to take the next step and complete it this week.

enjoy more Sunday Sketches!

Life is a Mix

life has extremes

deep black of night and shadow

mixed with soft glow of pink feminine

blue of clear sky and her eyes

walking in this world as well as the celestial divine

path of being woman

fairy slipper season is here

a lovely wild orchid

I have been enjoying lessons from Jane Davenport who is teaching through 21 Secrets.

This painting was created following her latest lesson.

Jane is a wonderful artist, generous and inspiring teacher, she brings the best out of her students!
