Flower Being

 

I love how there is no plan for this art.

just lots of play and then sensing....

Sensing who wants to show up on the paper.

Feels like beings from other realms, who want

to live in our realm in the form of art.

Shall We Dance

I am taking a class from Páivi of Peony and Parakeet

I love her art and she is a wonderful teacher. 

She has some videos on YouTube if you want to experience her teaching before considering a class.

I woke to our second snowfall today, around 2"

Then it rained all day and still coming down into the night. 

My little birds were all wet:

And my fingers got SO cold. 

Tis glove season.

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.

Forest Bathing

 

Portraying a feeling of forest bathing

layers and layers like veils inspire the experience of feeling the endless realms available to us

even within us

for sale here

Then they Appeared

 

When I do these paintings, I have no idea who will show up on the paper. Layers of color and design and waiting to see who lives in the shapes then bringing them to life. A bit like looking at clouds and seeing characters. 

 

I am temped to add a caption.... 

 

I would rather hear what you see going on between these two?

A Constant

light

our light

the light

having fun creating fantasy landscapes

or perhaps this is a spiritscape.

Forest Lad

 

Immersed in the forest

he knelt to visit with the boletes

~

I was so immersed in this painting that I forgot I was doing a lesson

and

didn't follow the lesson. 

Makes me smile, as I love getting immersed in basically anything!

Receiving Light ~

 

receiving light

~

This painting took me days to feel that it was complete. 

Layers and layers......

pausing to consider. 

Turning a light on it when I passed the art table,

what does it need, I pondered. 

Today it told me what it needed 

and then it felt complete. 

Ah

That happens with most my art, but this one took longer to find what it wanted.

Looking for a Fairy but found an Angel

 

This is from the course Magical Forest where we are guided to create a series.

I am working on 4 paintings. In this one I was looking for a fairy, but I found an angel.

I am not confident that my rays of light portray rays of light, but at lest they feel like rays of energy, maybe close enough.

Within

 do you ever

take pencil to paper and see where it leads you?

then sit back and take it to heart 

and

interpret how it moves you?

or

prepare a meal and plate it up

then sit back and take it to heart and see how it moves you?

or watch the wind inspire the trees to dance 

and interpret some special meaning for you or about life?

I enjoy doing this. 

it is a bit like drawing a card for its message. 

This young lad closed his eyes and settled within,

energy centers tangibly gained vibrance.

I hope to sketch more often

even daily, just for fun, just to see what shows up on the page. 

Then to consider its meaning for me. 

Does this drawing have a personal meaning for you?

Forest Bathing

 

Amongst the forest trees her aura began to glow, golden.

Always good to know how to enhance ones aura and vital energy.

~

I had so much fun designing these trees.

Entirely different from any I had painted before. 

Good chance they will show up in my art again, 

even though they take a bit of time.

Inktober #1

 

It is that time of year, Inktober. 

An ink drawing a day is done by artists all over the world.

 

I will be happy if I do one a week, but maybe I will get into more of an art groove and surprise myself. 

It felt so good to do art again. 

The gaps between pieces are too big for my liking ;-)

Here we have a little yogini, 

doing her blissful thing in nature.

Dragon kin ~

 

a serious conversation 

with 

her dragon kin

~

felt so good to draw again!

Inner Realm

 she discovered

with her mind silent

body still

heart open

her inner universe 

opens to her

~

 I used Arches 140 HP paper

It was nice to paint on,

but the paper buckled. I will need to flatten it, which is fine. 

I do prefer paper that does not buckle.

Soothing Waters

sometimes 

sitting down

and painting something simple

inspires a rewarding and peaceful feeling

this painting did that for me

(it is in the shop for a reasonable price)

~

Lovely weekend to you!

InkTober Day 1

opening her heart
the breath of life filled her 

stance of ecstasy was all she knew 

~

I have been drawing the past few days 
before that ...

it was not that I did not have the desire

or 

that I did not have inspiration

both I have had

I just did not sit down to draw for a very long time

I missed art

and it is happy making 

in a tangible quiet way to do so again

~

Lovely October to you!

Bathing in Lovely Energy

under the full moon

and 

planets

sharing the light

of their spirits

they sit

bathing in the breath of life 

~

Ah, it feel so good to paint

after a very long break. 

Looking at this piece, offers me, the actual feeling

as though I were sharing energy with a spirit friend. 

I hope you experience a feel good feeling also from this.

Sharing Light

crossing the threshold from winter to spring

they honored the moment by sitting.... 

heart to heart

forehead to forehead

in a silent sharing of energy

Equinox blessings to you! 

(Dragons have my attention these days)

Night Walker

under the light of night

standing with flame of candle

standing

breathing

listening, inside and out

being with the pulse of trees

night walker

~
and
a peak at two of my visitors:

I adore seeing them!

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?
