Fairy Ring

standing in the fairy ring

feeling the magic
of the earth, mushrooms and Fae
 rise through her

until she felt vitality, love and light
in every cell of her being

inspired by fairy rings in my lawn

i may have to bring it to life yet

Medicine Man

spirit of a medicine man
with feathers he did dance
and 

he pranced
for he knew he was a wonderfully unique
creature
the sort that brought magic to all he did meet
a treasure for any who he may greet

I have been putting original art 

in my Etsy shop

find:

Medicine Man 

let him be your lucky charm

Sunday Sketches

I remember when i began drawing

and painting

sketching seemed challenging

i felt i needed to know how to draw 

to create a sketch

i felt that a sketch was a zen like piece of art

a skilled person 

could make something interesting from a simple line

or lines

now i love sketching

i love trial and error

i do have a 'bit' more skill

and sketching freely is satisfying

a pleasant look on all of life

these remind me of her hair...

Shutters from Italy:

even the simple details, wonderfully artful

Ethereal Manifestation

lines and dots

ethereal manifestation

that is the way of the faery folk

if you look just right

they will come to light

if you move your head

transparent instead
