Faces in a Storm

Faces in a Storm

Faces in a storm of Psyche’s creation
on the brink of epiphany
myriad of facets tiled
upon the walls of my awareness

Every visage seeking truth
like a noble hunt or fete
clearly tangled in thoughts
wakened dreams imparted

“Faces in a Storm” is a unique original mono print, created in acrylic paint on a gelli plate, then hand embellished and finished with ink and color pencil.

Kitty

Kitty

consider adorable kitty
sweetness with claws
independence on four feet

self contained liquid fur
melts up from dots and scratches
stretches yawns and curling tongue

Kitty is a unique original mono print, created in acrylic paint on a gelli plate, then hand embellished and finished with ink and color pencil.

Lady Bird

Lady Bird

lady bird
hidden in plain view behind thin veneer
masked for safety’s semblence
glitz and decorative pap

it doesn’t take much to fly away in
interior gardens richly responsive

how deep does inquiry dip on
jetstreams like visions
bobbing and frisking fluffy clouds
pulling the covers on turquoise skies

grounded all the while in
misinterpretation
avian or pangolin’s cousin
pecking or tickling the cracking heart

Lady Bird is a unique original mono print, created in acrylic paint on a gelli plate, then hand embellished and finished with ink and color pencil.

Catnap

Catnap

waking dream alive and wiggly
inpired by inner cat self
squiggled convoluted 
mired in complexity and simple

catnap fury frazzled  like organised
spaghetti subtled memory
sound asleep, eyes wide open
introspection complete

Catnap is a unique original mono print, created in acrylic paint on a gelli plate, then hand embellished and finished with ink and color pencil.

Birds

Birds

birds arose in wingless silence
how long must they stay put
prisoners in their feathered nests
sitting thus like disenhearted squirrels
empty nut bin stilling wings

singing was allowed
encouraged by passing strangers
whistling in the darkness 
plumped by hearts filled with joy
in spite of restrictive circumstance

waiting waiting to be freed
alone in each effort
listen, you can hear the beating
drumbeat of hearts enthralled
fluttering high into jetstreams
no wings allowed

Birds is a unique original mono print, created in acrylic paint on a gelli plate, then hand embellished and finished with ink and color pencil.  

Moondancer – Dancing with the Moon

Moondancer – Dancing with the Moon

Moondancer

MoonDancer

Standing in the pristine land
moondancer dances
where incessant nurturing

waves of grass
were cuddled by wakened sky

The sun and the moon
strove to attain equal status
A shift in her consciousness
just happened
Whereupon…
she instantly knew how
to listen with new ears
and dance with the moon
on feet held up by dreams

Artist Notes

MoonDancer is an initial transitional piece, created as I moved in my media choices from watercolor and prismacolor pencils on paper, through watercolor and prismacolor pencil on watercolor ground on canvas, into transparent liquid acrylics and Blick pencils direct on canvas.

I used the Golden absorbent ground on a recycled canvas. I was just starting to play with different grounds at this point. Meanwhile, I was using the same watercolor techniques that I have developed over the years.

I drew the initial sketch for MoonDancer in less than 2 minutes, loosely with the paint brush. Light-hearted, whimsical and joyous – this is what I was feeling as I painted.
