The Magician, Lady in pastels and the Passengers



Welcome to Sunday Sketches


Back on the easel..
The Magician



The red bird called out to me...
I knew it was time to return to the Magician
and paint  his story 
once again..


He is Part Hermit, Part Fool and Nature Spirit
*
A Magician, a Wizard 
and Wise Lord of the Woods

here is how he began..

gentle and soulful..
a kind spirit
I followed him into the forest..

He is slowly revealing his essence
I am sure to finish soon..
I peer from the grey branch and wait..


More...



P a s t e l s..

Another I began..
I felt drawn to using pastels..
Do you ever get in the mood for pastels?
*


 Other updates
My passengers are coming along..

The Passengers:
I am beginning to work on the young girl..
*
I dedicate this piece to my mother and grandmother 
who made a voyage long ago 
from Italy ...to Canada


 Thankyou for visiting my works in progress
Victoria

Part hermit, part fool...
aren't those great lyrics? Or maybe you already wrote that song.
I just love him and the comfort he is giving.
Strong yet ethereal. Aren't fools sometimes the wisest.
I am digging ALL of your ladies, Lucienne and the Foxy one and the pastel rose and the passengers...all lined up for their turn in the dance of Victoria's easel. ♥♥♥

Lovely works here, as always. You have such a wonderful imagination and a great skill to be able to paint from it. I love pastels but haven't used them since I moved because I have carpet in the room I use for art now. :(

Oh wow these are coming along fabulously and so gorgeous. You are such a special lady Victoria with an enormous talent and a wonderful heart. x

Faerie Moon Creations said...

Everything is so beautiful and most magical. I ADORE the Magician. He looks most kindly - and his red bird, too. There is a sly twinkle in his eye. The pastel lady is gorgeous. I never cared for working with pastels - but you work magic with them. And the Passengers is so full of warmth and love. What a tribute to the important women in your life that traveled to a far land to start anew. Thank you for sharing such beautiful works!

Debbie said...

Raggle Taggle Gypsy Girl said...

I love this Magician, he truly does live upto his name.....

Purpletreebird said...

The Magician has knowledge of something but the little bird tells him it's not how it seems. That's how I read it anyway! The travellers are lovely and so is your pastel lady. I love pastel paintings but have never got on very well with them myself. These are going to be as gorgeous as ever!

Shayla said...
