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

the magical realm of summer 

of nature

a glimpse

~

first i painted the page a light sage green

let it dry

drew a border in sepia ink, with a dip pen

drew the picture with masking fluid

let it dry

painted over the mask with a light wash of the sepia ink

then peeled the mask away

~

the two little hummingbirds are growing up

eyes still closed

and look the photo is in sage and sepia colors:

DC: Gossamer

in her dreams

the veil was open

she spoke with angels 

as the nights went on

her days became ethereal

and even her skin

radiated like gossamer silk

My friend Annie found a hummingbird nest in her tree!

mamma hummer made the nest of lichen and gossamer spider webs

it is SO tiny

and look, two eggs

i read that they are made with gossamer spider webs
so that the web can stretch larger as the babies grow

now that is some smart engineering!
~
I hope you all enjoy a wonderful weekend
perhaps sprinkled with gossamer dreams
