Nearing Spring Equinox

I came across a photo someone took of me

at Hearst Castle

this is such a fun dress to wear

usually i make up the characters in my art

not even looking at photos

it was so much easier drawing from this photo

 Sweet Week to you!

Spring Equinox is nearing

DC : Connections

i enjoyed letting the word: connections

roll around in my mind this week

seeing it in the world around and within me

considering how the sun connects all life

the growth of flowers, trees, you and me

these are aspen trees

or i could say: Tree

they are connected by roots

and they are one tree

some consider a family

Aspens in summer, in Montana

painting inspired by sketch:

 

you would have to look close

to see all the fairy folk

~

I had a hard time trying to photograph the watercolor at the top to show the true colors

oh well, close enough

Thank you Kristen

for inspiring a week full of

 connections!

D.C.: Hair

she wears her hair up under her cap

but those trickster trees

always set it free

 ~

 closer look:

i have been wanting to create this for years

trees do this to me regularly

;-)

has a tree ever snatched your hat?

Thank you Nadine

theme: hair

Stone Cloud

I went away this week

Up the North Fork to Polebridge

stayed in a cabin named Stone Cloud

the name of this beautiful and wild land inspired this painting:

while in Stone Cloud

the mountains became her wings

~

today is the last day of February

which is the last day of Alaya's 29 Faces!

Thank you so much for hosting this inspiring event!

~

and yes

the stones around here can be quite colorful:

but the land was not summer 

it is still very much winter here:

She Dreams of Spring

snow continues to fall here in the NW  corner of Montana

and i find myself thinking of sweet new life will be

and flowers!

I love Montana Lake rocks

their colors

light and reflections

a beautiful dance
