Something has her attention

something has her attention

maybe a wild orchid?:

 So lovely to have flowers blooming!

This is a calypso orchid

commonly called a fairy slipper

quite similar to a lady slipper but about half the size 

and different coloring.

DC: Youth, Fairy Land

  

youthful eyes

 open to life

magic abounds

eyes who spy fairies
underneath the fairy slippers

(calypso orchids are also called fairy slippers)

fairy slippers grow in the forest
a tiny orchid
with a lovely scent
but one must not step too close to them
or they might not grow back next year

 

my latest favorite photo of fairyslippers:

 drawing challenge theme for this weekend

is: youth

chosen and hosted by Ariane of Rose

stop by her blog to find other artful sharing for youth

thank you Ariane

Life is a Mix

life has extremes

deep black of night and shadow

mixed with soft glow of pink feminine

blue of clear sky and her eyes

walking in this world as well as the celestial divine

path of being woman

fairy slipper season is here

I have been enjoying lessons from Jane Davenport who is teaching through 21 Secrets.

This painting was created following her latest lesson.

Jane is a wonderful artist, generous and inspiring teacher, she brings the best out of her students!
