The Unfolding of a Drawing

first there is a feeling

an idea

an inner image

sometimes the shape of a face

the width of her eyes

or perhaps the thought of a walking stick

then a sketch begins to come to life

another wanderer

with her walking stick

protective hat

and energy auras that travel with her

offering insight

wisdom

and kinship

she walks in the ways of the elders

recently,

Annie of Bohemian Art

asked if any of her readers would like a cloth bookmark

made by her

yes, i said

look what arrived in the mail:

  it looks even more wonderful in person!

my tai chi teacher once gave me feedback:

look up

Thank you Annie!

sharing with 29 Faces

29 Faces

hello

i am participating in Ayala from Ayala Art's: 29 Faces

a May event

creating a face each day

~

between my larger pieces  of art

I love doing meditative pieces:

faces that just pour out of my pencil

this one i did over lunch at a cafe' in Montana today

Lovely beginning of May to you all!

face #1

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

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.
