Drawing Challenge : Dream

In Dream I grow invisible wings

and rise above

by a jet fuelled mind

toes tickling forest tops

avoiding power lines

out of danger

i soar

Do you have recurring dreams?

i do!

Fly on over to Woolfie Nadine, this week's hostess, to see more dreamers

Carl Larsson's home Sheep. Ah yes, my sweet obsession. what is it? why do i love thee so? Its a piece in the puzzle. The treasure hunt of my life. The distinct by hazey memory of a life lived in a Swedish Farmhouse or handstitched art farm with family and history where all flock together in peace no matter fur , wool or feather. say hello to the rest of the flock Elisabeth Rachel Ariane Nadine Patrice Jasmin anyone else? please join us!



Empty Net - drawing challenge ; FISH

People say our fish are disappearing, their size shrinking, our world going down the drain.

I went for a dive, deep into the unknown. I saw a giant mythological fish with its jaws wide open

waiting for me to fall. I swam as fast as I could to the surface and once in the boat had a peek

in my net. To my suprise, I cracked the mollusk to find an assortment of pearls, little people

ghostly and sweet, forgotten now found, whipsering of life as we once knew it.

see you tomorrow for SHEEP!



Busy Birthday

Hello!
My map will have to wait, The Lantern Parade, soccer games, 1st prom preparations for my daughter, have all robbed me of "my" time! It is my birthday today and I plan to celebrate. in the meantime, i'll cheat with a web version of this childhood beauty by Jaro Hess which hangs in my studio.

Make Believe Jaro Hess

see you soon with my maps

Tail

Tail
Tail , Trail, Tale.
Endings and unknowns.
There is a Tale.
A Tale of a mother whose babes are growin'.
And a walk on a dream of a yellow brick road
Where all can travel
Big feet and all.
The end.

the art of Lauren Mcintosh (of Tail of the Yak)

Sky Scenery - drawing challenge #3

Lilli, where for art thou?

Hello friends. Here I am in Nashville, posting a few snaps from my show. My birds flitting between heaven and earth and a landscape with delicious sky scenery. I had hoped to snap a pic from the plane but a large body was blocking my pinhole of a window.

Art shows are exhausting. I sort of forgot. Still, it's fun to meet so many people and converse. I am tired of talking about myself.

challenge #2 home

Still Life of a Home

So, I cheated a little. Home. Still lifes everywhere. Little shrines of who we are. A row of retired passed down cowboy boots and a cat shedding on the fruit bowl. (who put his bed there anyways?!) Just a snippet. Enjoy.

Don't foget to visit Elisabeth & Ariane's sites for more of this week's theme: Home and Still Life.
Hoping Lilli returns to us soon with her theme Sky Scenery.

I am so sorry for the delay...you wouldn't believe the interruptions, technical failures, the crashing computer....unbelievable and not worth explaining.
