Simple Sketches: Lady at Gate

Sketching stirs the imagination...

A Lady comes forward

dressed in charcoal

and the beginnings of wet paint

a vintage glow begins to surround her

Time passes...and more is revealed..

She is the

Lady at the Gate

I sense..

One last goodbye

One last look..

She seems sad in her gaze..

yet also..strong and spirited

I sense a vibrant wave coming forward..

an intuitive ripple...

of color...

She begins to transform

*

Her spirit more bold and bright now..

a new world sparks within her..

the world ahead seems bright

and full of life..

Yet I still remember how

she first came through

simple..pure

quiet

and

still

a gentle soul...

*

Sketching is like

building stories..and weaving in threads...

they always drawn me in..

bending my mind with curiosity

....even for a small moment

Happy Creating

Thankyou for joining me

Much appreciation

Wishing you a day of Magic

 and Creative Sparkles

Another Passenger: The Blind Man

The Blind Man

A Gentle Soul

His gaze peaceful

a yellow canary upon his shoulder

guiding him on his way

As I painted him..

to my surprise

he was indeed

a Passenger...

I sense he is a blind man..

yet his beautiful soulful eyes draw me in..

as though he is staring right at me

*

In his arms

he holds Fresh Egglant..a Large decadent Sunflower

and a single bold Peach

Does he know Lady Sunflower perhaps?

Have they met?

A Work in Progress...
He travels on the train...a small bottle of beautiful red wine nearby..
I can hear the clanking of glassware, people chattering and the smell of fresh fruit. My sense of hearing feels heightened with all the details

I couldn't seem to finish Lady Sunflower

There was something missing

So I put her away...

*

Late one night...the scent of peaches calling me again

a glass of red wine..

I began to paint..

This man took form on the canvas.

*

At first I thought I was painting

yet another lady with a feathered hat

*

To my surprise..it was  a man's face appearing...

I was smitten and intrigued.

I then realized he was connected to the train

and a passenger as well!

They are still both

Works in Progress

I am excited to finish their stories

and maybe perhaps there will be even more

passengers one day..

a room full would be most magical..

a living train of paintings!

I have been obsessed with peaches lately..

I think you can tell..

an immortal spell has cast it's glow upon me..

Thankyou for meeting the beautiful blind man..

Happy Creating.

Thankyou for visiting!

*

What are you creating lately?

Has your work ever turned into a series?

or interconnected?

this one will be of many passengers in the future I am sure!

*

Have any new series ever spontaneously popped up for you?

or taken you by surprise?

This one did for me..

Hope to finish him very soon.

He is 18 by 24 inches and done in acrylics.

And there is splash of red wine in there too..

Have a magical wkd Creative Kindreds...

On The Easel: Transformation Angels: work in progress

Transformation Angels

*

A Work In Progress

Here is how it began...

*

soft pinks..

like Rose Quartz ..

The Essence of Love and Healing

A Tear falling..and a Raven's Whisper..

A matching tear on the young girl

The Sun shining..

I realize the Sun

is blooming and awakening

from inside the Raven's Back

Like a sacred vessel...carrying the promise of the sun

This is the raven's Gift...the Magical Sun

*

The Girl wears a Painted Mask..

she feels familiar to me in some way..

Matching tears

yet a feeling

of Empowerment

A sense of Magic and Strength

Her hair begins to ripple out...all in dark curls..

her energy expressive, creative and full of life

The Angel with Rose Quartz wings..

seems to want to wear Vibrant Reds

I do as she wishes..

Her gaze captivates me

Like there is something she wants to tell

or..there is something

that I should know..

her hair morphing into vibrant blues

The Raven

pulling a tress of hair from the Angel

Transformation

Transmutation

Healing

Reweaving

Reconnecting

All Three Sacred Beings

seem powerful in their own way...

they each offer powerful gifts..

A Work in Progress...

I look forward to finishing this one..

and see where it leads me

Somewhere Magical I imagine....

*

Update: Still transforming on the easel....

Have any of your creations

ever led you somewhere magical?

*

Happy Creating

Thankyou for visiting and adding Sparkles to my world..

PLay and Sketch away..

On the Easel: Lady Sunflower:The Passenger

A woman appears

on a canvas

The Beginning of  a sketch...

Who is she?

Her hat adorned with a sunflower

She holds her hand against her heart

I wonder what she is thinking..or where she is leading me..

She suddenly reveals..

she holds something...

A basket of fruit..I smell the scent of peaches..

She feels like a generous soul

sharing her basket of plenty

a symbol of Abundance...

she is like the Empress Card

And carries that creative and fruitful presence

She is beginning to take form..

and show who she is..

Light glazes of raw sienna..

and washes of burnt umber  give her an antique glow

For those emailing and asking me to show a Work In Progress

...here it is..

I have called her Lady Sunflower

*

She Begins to Transform...

Slowly

Crossing Over

 into the Other side..

She is full

of

c o l o  r s

now..

Her eyes soft and gentle

She  has become younger it seems..

As I paint more and more..

I realise

She is 

a passenger..

on a train

I wonder where she is off to

or where she is coming from?

She sits quietly holding

fresh peaches

and sunflowers..

I look forward to exploring her more...

A Work In progress

I shall continue to finish her

 

And create finishing touches

on her body, hand, skin...

her clothes

the fruit and flowers...eveything!

I look forward to sharing her

when she is complete...

What have you been working on lately?

Hope you enjoyed meeting Lady Sunflower

Thankyou for visiting..

Happy Creating..
