Flowers and Fairies

 

I am taking a course by Paivi Eerola

I enjoy looking at her art, sometimes feeling my heart respond to her paintings.

I like her teaching style, so many wonderful techniques and tips and yet it is quite intuitional, which I enjoy!

The painting above had many layers.....

then the next lesson had us finding fairies in our painting:

I found three fairies, but sense are more!

I am looking forward to more of her lessons!

It really looks like a fabulous course.

Scribble Picnic: Fairies

fairies come in all shapes, sizes

and

colors of varying degrees

some are easy to spot as they leap through the air

others.....

one must glimpse from the corner of their sight

some blend in with life

but 

if we turn to look directly at them

they disappear as if they never were there

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

DC : Connections

i enjoyed letting the word: connections

roll around in my mind this week

seeing it in the world around and within me

considering how the sun connects all life

the growth of flowers, trees, you and me

these are aspen trees

or i could say: Tree

they are connected by roots

and they are one tree

some consider a family

Aspens in summer, in Montana

painting inspired by sketch:

 

you would have to look close

to see all the fairy folk

~

I had a hard time trying to photograph the watercolor at the top to show the true colors

oh well, close enough

Thank you Kristen

for inspiring a week full of

 connections!
