Nature as Kin

Living with nature as kin is the only life she knows

A life of vitality and beauty

She paints Her world beautiful ~

she paints her world beautiful

her paintbrush much like a witch's broom

and 

a fairie's wand

breathes magic into the stones 

mushrooms and home of her life

as she births them

with 

color

A while ago I bought a mini palette from Stephanie Law

I found it hard choosing the 37 colors

finally I took all my colors

made swatches

which I could lay out and ponder which one's I use/like most

(a project I wanted to do for choosing colors for paintings)

 I have since placed these color squares in plastic coin sleeves

blues on one page, browns the next and so on

so nice and orderly ;-)

amazing how even doing these squares satisfied my art craving

the palette is shy of 3" across

I used it on this painting

and 

I was delighted that it worked quite well

it will be wonderful for hikes and traveling

Sentries

they stood true
her sentries
among the wild weaving weedy seeds
 her protectors
fungi who are from the underworld
and the heavens

snow has arrived

days are cold

nights even colder

pretty sure this snow is here for the season

so pretty under the light of the big moon

 at night

Tiny Houses

 

A tiny house

made in a porcini mushroom

perfect

for the wee folk

first came the ink drawing

then 

watercolors

for 

inktober

Shelter

she took 

just enough shelter

so that she could still 

touch the rain
