Open and Receive

 

He stepped from the autumn woods

to find her

offering golden light

Feels so good to complete a painting.

I started this in July

life had some other plans for me, besides painting.

Now I get to start another painting, wahoo

~

I hope you are all enjoying our new season.

There is something about the thresholds of seasons,

the air holds a different energy

two seasons greeting one another

dancing back and forth. 

A heightened sense of life perhaps. 

Here in NW Montana 

it feels as though we have truly entered autumn, 

summer has vanished.

Lovely autumn to you!

Painting available here.

Feathers Filled my Week

she could have chosen any sort of hair

hair of spider webs and dew drops

hair of pine cones or leaves

but she

wanted

feathers

~

this week i have been drawing feathers

last week painting feathers

i am surprised i am not dreaming of feathers

*

these sketches were done with a pen

no pencil

i remember when my sketches would have more erasing than drawing ;-)

so it is quite wonderful to sit with a pen

and enjoy the process

and results

Depth of Quiet

the depth of quiet

eternal

rich

sublime

~

*

so interesting to draw/paint her

as above, a meditative expression

and 

then to lay her this way:

she slept amongst the flowers

feeling the soil as her flesh

resting in the embrace of eternity

nourished in stillness sublime

Earthling Waterling

 In my last post, I shared the original sketch for these pieces

with a poem about how a sketch is the beginning  of a dream. 

I took that sketch and made two very different pieces.

Earthling Waterling

one life a mermaid

one life a modern gal

dwelling in the water world

walking on the earth

waves and wind caressing elements

simply being with what is

eternally

~

 This modern gal is done with prismacolor pencils and a Faber Castell Pitt pen,

6"x12" Nature Sketch Pad 130 LB..

The Mermaid piece is done with watercolor pencils and crayons,

11"x14" Canson Britol Smooth, 100 LB.

Please visit Paint Party Friday to enjoy wonderful art!

original sketch:

Totem

kinship with life
a quiet art

walking earth as solid ground
wild companions all around
wind and tree point the way
to a listening heart
that does not sway

~

still smitten with ink and brush:

This piece came from a guided meditation with Goddess Leonie
from 21 Secrets.

I listened to Leonie's half hour meditation
lying in a meadow, climbing a mountain, conversing with my wise elder self.

Her theme being: You are beautiful just as you are!

These are the animals that were with me on my journey.
I sat with the idea of making a journal page, this is what came to me,
to make my very own totem pole.
It was challenging to sketch animals and learn to paint them, yet quite satisfying to complete.

 Goddess Leonie radiates the essence of us being beautiful just as we are,
which assists to experience the truth of what she shares.

3 Versions of: Sphere

hello lovely friends

when i made this initial sketch

i had a hard time deciding how to complete it

for the experience I did three versions

the top version is watercolors

 the one below is prismacolor pencils and the third (bottom) 

piece was done with sumi ink with a watercolor brush

to look within

to listen with heart

brings us present

to the magical arts 

~

 

do you like one more than another?

I would love to hear which one and why. 

I ask simply for fun, to get to see through your eyes. 

I know we all have different taste, 

I would love to broaden my perception through you.
