Blessed Beltane

as Beltane is upon us

the half way mark between spring equinox and summer solstice

this painting came to life

a man and his kin bear

most likely because the bears around here have woken

they now walk  the earth with us

daily i think of them

~

Lovely Spring to you ~

Watercolors

learning

playing

exploring possibilities

of watery paint

a new journey

 

two very different styles

the first i drew with masking fluid, waited for it to dry and filled in the spaces with watercolor

the second was painted...
