He Sings to the Moon and Stars

A Modern Wise Man

I’m not sure what knocked me off track. There was a death in the family and lots of exciting activities – many of them involving my creativity, so it’s not like I haven’t been creating images. I have. I have not posted any for almost a month however.

So I am back. I went to a place for tea this evening, and drew this. I used a tiny blurry photo of a friend of mine for a loose model, and just had fun. Then, after scanning, I got jiggy with it, adding some layers etc. Why not have fun? It’s definitely a way to get me back on track.

Harlequin Man

Watercolor play…

I’m going to have a bin full of old watercolors and sketches for ridiculously low giveaway prices at tomorrows show, just for fun (And to clear space for more recent work)!

Brazen Freedom

Is there any true freedom that is not brazen somehow?

So, I’m still painting and preparing for the RAW artists show which is this Wednesday. This is a sneak peak at one new piece completed for that show this week. Those attending the show will be the first to see the painting in it’s entirety. A world premiere as it were. I’m going to be giving away some prizes to attendees too. Just trying something different.

Soul Garden

A Blossoming for You

Beginning with a simple mono print, this grew for you.

In the Glen

Taken by the Fairies

Carried away and not to be seen for several days. Upon return, my senses are a bit obscured by the sweet aroma of magic.

A friend reminded me that even if I fall off the daily habit of posting an image, I can yet begin again. Every day, just begin again.

She Blew

And the world awoke…

I think today was like this. I bought a new (to me) car. If anything will make one blow, that would be one thing that might cause it. Luckily, we found a great guy selling cars.

On a different vein, I am preparing for the upcoming Elevation RAW artist show on July 10th: http://www.rawartists.org/artistjoyful

Excitement building. I hope the top of my head stays on!
