Life as a Rainbow

she found lifes colors

as she roamed
she inspired rainbows

her intimate connection with life

is all she knows

Salmony Peaches

she welcomes Summer with all her heart

leaning into the new season with celebration

and the desire to meld and learn

dance and fly

rest and soar

leaning into the past

life becomes a daydream

Rosey

sometimes

it is fun to shade with colored pencils

and then pull it all together with graphite pencil

Face #19

Fungi and Honeycomb

in his mushroom cap

he stored wisdom

collected from far and near

this faery man

stood with ease

and compassion

one of wisdom's gift

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 ;-)

Sky of Stars

who are you darling
the tilt of your head
your tender eyes
the way gentle light ignites your face 

so softly
I feel I know you
yet it will take years to see the facets of your shadows
and light
before your essence is revealed wholly
~

oh darn maybe even a wee bit of drat
i forgot to scan the sketch of this piece


pretty please my Sunday Sketch friends

forgive me for not sharing the sketch

I actually sketched her months ago and came across it recently and thought to paint her

painting was a learning experience 

each step of the way
this color
that color
layer up layer

light shadows

and 

i look at her

this lady who is kin of stars

and want to know her

for there is something lovely in her spirit

do you ever have thoughts similar about your art?
