Butterflies Sing

listening to the butterflies sing

taking 21 Sectets

joined Tam of Willowings workshop

she had us make a colloage

then we layered

painted

and 

it is journaling

we wrote a piece under the collage

since mine is celebratory of our season I will share it:

Opening to Spring

waking from the depths of winter
yawning stretching
blinking lashes
more light
more life
song of birds fills a once hushed world
opening to the birthing abundance of new life
spirit within begins the dance
with a new season
a time to bud bloom and flourish

mating season of life
stepping 

into the light

Sketch to Drawing to Painting

I am taking a art class with Tam at Willowing

this is my first assignment

I began with a sketch

Then back to the sketch to make the painting

This is the largest piece I have made, 15" x 22"

she got changed a bit:

she

and the owl

are kin

they are kin to the air and the wind

they are kin to trees

as well as flowers and bees

they are kin

 to life within

the assignment was for canvas

i had watercolor paper, so I used it

I think I will make a 3rd piece on canvas.....

I am finding it a good experience to do something similar over and over

I used watercolor pencils and crayons for her face

and her dress,

acrylics for the rest

the assignment was: a goddess with the artist Klimt as an inspiration

I found inspiration in two pieces:
