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.

Resting Within

sometimes

painting a Buddha resting in peaceful silence

inspires deep peace in me

morning visitor:

I was away for a while and could not post on blogger (no matter how I tried to from my iPad). 
I also no longer receive my comments from you in an email, which I had set up to do all these many years. 

Are you also having these complications with blogger?

in conversation

twice as big as this edible fungi

tiny aqua wing

~

oh, i want to learn how to use watercolors

i love the colors in these zecchi paints from Italy

but i think watercolors have rules

(or not)

i can see that one color must be very dry before another color is added next to it, or they bleed..... a few examples of bleeding in this tiny 4x6 painting

 

i would love

any suggestions for how to work with watercolors

Enchanted Mushroom

she loved to sit 

in wonder and wait

who lives in this tiny realm 

upon the mushroom

in the forest land

beneath the spiraled whimsical trees

she loved to wonder

and wander

and 

wait

with pink stems

Go Slow

 

her spirit told her
go slow

in doing so the world became
vital and exquisite

she left a shimmering trail as she wandered through life

for eons people followed
her incandescent paths
they found wonders they never knew
gems amongst wee tiny flowers
bugs that flew
shrooms that grew

a leisurely pace

reveals treasures

~

this all began with a sketch:

Enjoy others poetry for the word 'incandescent' at: 

One Single Impression

Autumns goddess; Lady Mabon

find goddess of autumn
within dancing leaves
hanging from trees
flitting earthbound
her eyes in the equinox moon
presence of the seasons tune
partake of her spirit
as you breath crisp air
dance under the moon
wear new autumn hues

enjoy our new season
~

for my artists friends who enjoy seeing the beginning to the end,

this time I started by mapping out a grid, practice you know.

 

 ~

I wish you all a lovely Autumn.

Treat yourself to enjoy the crisp air

the colors

and

the obvious dance of change. 

Happy Equinox

and

Blessed Mabon

to one and all!
