Freckles

it is still knit hat weather

17F this morning

ponds had fresh ice on them 

now it is a beautiful sunny day 

and 

the ice is melting away

feels good to sketch and paint

seems I have done so little art this past year

Wings

she gazed across the universe

glancing down on earth

sending heartfelt wisdom

trusting that we let it 

imbue our hearts

29 Faces, # 9

she wore her hair like a halo
and 

a star for her kin in the heavens
she inhaled light 

and became

light itself

Little Pen sketches

tiny faces

sketched with a pen

sharing with 29 Faces

yesterday...

I was here:

Montana sure is beautiful as Autumn begins to color the days

and crisp starry nights

(tiny light fleck in the sky is the moon)

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

both my brother and sister think I gave us measles

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