The Pearl

 

 

the chickadee

with great gratitude

drops a pearl into the hand

that feeds it

Recently I found this unfinished painting and sat down to finish it. 

The same week the wee birds came back to take seeds from me. 

Such sweet timing. 

Their presence feels like the gift of a pearl. 

 

~

this film is from yesterday

2/3rds of the birds were first timers

they learn from one another that it is safe to take seed from me

 

 

The film is in half time

showing the swift movements of the wee birds more clearly. 

Enjoy

curious about fairies

Winter Solstice

the sun passed through the sky

low

to the mountains

tis the shortest day of the year

being filled with more night than day light 

she 

sat

with stars in her heart

at peace with the passing of the sun

~

I think this photo shows the gold leaf better:

last night's crescent moon was incredibly beautiful

I saw the sun's light on it more than looking at it as a 

sliver of moon 

somehow

noticing it that way felt like a solstice gift

sunlight at night

~

Lovely Solstice to you

Girlfriends

together

they called it 

home sweet home

(post edit:

Breathing on the threshold of a new life, new home, they released their dreams to touch the land and tiny house, imbued it with their love and stepped down the path.)

It is always a decision 

do I leave it as an ink drawing 

or

do I color it .....

Fairy Ring

standing in the fairy ring

feeling the magic
of the earth, mushrooms and Fae
 rise through her

until she felt vitality, love and light
in every cell of her being

~

yesterday I posted the inked version 

 

and now the painted version

it was fun to let the fairy rings in my lawn inspire this piece

~

sweet week to you!

Wood Witch, Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween to You!

the sylvan dwellers be charmed

a land where life thrives

all have the gift of living 
in the flow 

of life

 from the essence of where 

breath is born

all be kin

trees, critters, land, air and she

for the wood witch

thrives in harmony

~

this is the last day of inkTober

it has been a fun daily challenge for me

to breathe life into a new drawing a day

it might be time to pick up the paints and color

Wishing you all a lovely Samhain, Beltane

and

Halloween!
