Her Wonderful Life

 She loves her cottage

and 

the world around her

wandering a daily activity

as life went on

she became the colors that surrounded her

~

Was so lovely to work paint on this cold gray day. 

This painting is for sale HERE

Witches to Celebrate Halloween, Samhain, All Hallows Eve, and the turning of the seasons

 

under her hat

was a world of lovely magic

she sat deep and sweet

within herself

yoga in flight

These are some older pieces that I am sharing

for Samhain, Halloween and All hallows eve.

We are entering the half way time between autumn equinox and winter solstice.

Endless blessings to you ~

Soul Witch

 

The broom flew all over the universe in search of it's soul witch. 

For a broom without a witch is a sad thing indeed. 

Perhaps you know a witch who has not found it's soul broom?

She paints Her world beautiful ~

she paints her world beautiful

her paintbrush much like a witch's broom

and 

a fairie's wand

breathes magic into the stones 

mushrooms and home of her life

as she births them

with 

color

A while ago I bought a mini palette from Stephanie Law

I found it hard choosing the 37 colors

finally I took all my colors

made swatches

which I could lay out and ponder which one's I use/like most

(a project I wanted to do for choosing colors for paintings)

 I have since placed these color squares in plastic coin sleeves

blues on one page, browns the next and so on

so nice and orderly ;-)

amazing how even doing these squares satisfied my art craving

the palette is shy of 3" across

tiny 

tiny

tiny

I used it on this painting

and 

I was delighted that it worked quite well

it will be wonderful for hikes and traveling

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
Happy Samhain!
(it truly does feel like the beginning of the cold, frozen time of 
year. )

I feel drawn to consider and send prayers to those have passed before

loved ones and those I had not met

I send you love on your journey

may it be of grace

I miss you

What's Under a Witches Hat?

have you ever wondered

what is under that pointy hat

why does she wear 

a hat like that

well she is full

to overflowing

with the wonders of life

that is what tuning in is like

~
I think it might be good to ask for witches to remove their hats
so that the beauty within will rain down on us ;-)
~

it started with a page too big for my scanner of witches

in the bottom right corner this idea flowed in

and then the first sketch:

the owl is because of the owl that landed near my pond this week:

and then it jumped in!

So I continue to remember it's beautiful presence and it enters my art

~

I am sharing with Alexandra's Sunday Sketches

Confidence

she knows who she is

~

this week i had a unique experience

i saw a big swoosh through the air, a great gray owl landed on a tree, then here on the ground, a second later it was in the pond, then up in the trees.... 

 

so cool to see it sitting on the ground and then jump in the water!

 

the photo was taken from inside and through a glass window:

Tiny Witch

enjoying her woodland realm

i just never know what i will find on the forest floor

so many beautiful mushrooms these days!

Swinging to Her Own Tune

there's a witch hanging from the moon

sitting on her broom

swinging swaying to her own tune

looking down on the earth

across the universe

she spies a bird in flight

is filled with delight

noting that is

another way to fly

across the sky

walking in the forest

the other day

i looked up to see this

Great Grey Owl

looking into my eyes

~

Wishing you a wonderful 

Samhain

and

Halloween

Celebrating Samhain ~ Summer's End

born with a heart of knowing
remained due to upbringing
between
owls hoots and wolves singing
wisdom of bears and birds tweeting
call of the wind and water flowing
witch full of natures knowing
veils between seen and unseen now thinning
wisdom available reminds of hearts knowing
tis the season of internal remembering
~

Wishing you a wonderful Halloween

and Samhain Celebration!

also, in the actual piece of art, her hair is not orange,
it is shades of gold, but I could not show this on the scan, oh well.
