these are two of my evening sketches....

i have to come up for a name...

"evening meditations"

for they bring me present, with very little thought of anything else

inspire peace, because i love drawing and painting

ignite a vital flame that lives within my spirit

yes, my evening sketches will be known as

Evening Meditations
(which can be done anytime, day or night)

Embroidery and Beaded Earrings

I love Karen Ruane's wonderful embroidery and stitching arts!

The cloth above she breathed life into for her daughter.

Sometimes she even stitches on paper:

recently I won two of her buttons in a give away on her blog.

They arrived today and are quite elegant and beautiful

thank you Karen xo:

treat yourself to a visit to her Etsy Shop

and Blog

or join her Online Classes!

I thought I would share with your one of my other arts.... 

beaded jewelry.

This will be the last pair I make like this

a rare delight:

Profiles

 

once upon a time

when my son was but a wee lad

(he be a man now)

a girlfriend captured this photograph of us

I wish Jesper's head was fully portrayed (in the photo)

I used this photo because I was practicing profiles

 

I created two pieces

because the pink one was not making me happy

so began the blue one

as I worked back and forth on the two

I was happy with both in the end

 sketch:

 

not that they are exactly like the photo

but

I think with my birthday on Monday

there was something special in creating my first self portrait

also

having a child is a HUGE experience

it is one of the bigger adventures in my life

a meaningful contemplation through art 

especially near my birthday

both my brother and sister think I gave us measles

instead of freckles.... so no worries if you think that too ;-)

Hairstick and Bun

i slide into a realm 

of joy and contentment

when i sketch whatever face

wants to appear on my page

some days are full of learning new techniques 

and how to draw bodies (like in my last post)

they are challenging

so in between

I draw a face, a lovely spirit

like this gal who wears her hair in a bun

Modern Angel

angel for a modern world

her heart and hand on the pulse

of what is tender and real

our tears touch her 

she holds space

reminding us

that love thrives beneath the surface
