Rarefied

barely
she appears
presence stepping forward from the fabric of the world
slightly transparent
slightly visible
as real as you and me

Profiles

 

once upon a time

when my son was but a wee lad

(he be a man now)

a girlfriend captured this photograph of us

I wish Jesper's head was fully portrayed (in the photo)

I used this photo because I was practicing profiles

 

I created two pieces

because the pink one was not making me happy

so began the blue one

as I worked back and forth on the two

I was happy with both in the end

 sketch:

 

not that they are exactly like the photo

but

I think with my birthday on Monday

there was something special in creating my first self portrait

also

having a child is a HUGE experience

it is one of the bigger adventures in my life

a meaningful contemplation through art 

especially near my birthday

visit: Sophia's Blue Chair Diary on Sunday to enjoy other sketches from around the world

both my brother and sister think I gave us measles

instead of freckles.... so no worries if you think that too ;-)

Modern Angel

angel for a modern world

her heart and hand on the pulse

of what is tender and real

our tears touch her 

she holds space

reminding us

that love thrives beneath the surface

Dusty Rose

like a dusty rose

from bud to bloom

she bathed in sun

under rain 

and stars

her scent beckoned to lean close

to inhale her beauty

backs and bottoms....

spheres and shadows

bottoms and backs

lessons on bodies

gave life to this

but who are the characters that live on this sheet

and living with circular realms must be quite sweet!

Fashionable Gal

 

she's a fashionable gal

full of grace and style

moves a bit like deer

uses windows like a mirror

heads do turn

inspiring hearts to burn

in the end we know

that her beauty is more than show

for grace flows

from our hearts to the edges of our light

and...

I love it when stars fall from the sky
piling 
one upon another 
making the world white!

from my heart to yours


Happy Holidays to each of you!
