My latest obsession ...

my sketchbook...

This is my second piece inspired by 

one of the hundreds of photos I have

of my Grandbaby lol

and this is number one in what I am expecting 

will become a life-long obsession XXX

The art of "Elfies"

Still a WIP, but I wanted to share the art of 

"layering"

Starting with watercolour splodginess...

working over with coloured pencils,

and a touch of acrylic paint...

deepening the shadows and intensifying colours...

before adding all the little details.

I just love watching my creation grow.

While I'm here...

 

I joined an art course this year that I've admired for a 

while now called

PAINT YOUR HEART & SOUL

receive "Artist of the week" TWICE :D

Waking to the Light

 Blessed Imbolc 

A time of renewal,

 of starting things afresh

and today I took time to meditate 

on my guides for 2022.

Last year I called upon Sekhmet, 

goddess of Plagues and Healing 

(and she didn't let me down for a moment)

I take this opportunity to give her thanks.

Whilst joining in with an Imbolc service

performed at the Chalice Well, I joyfully

received knowledge of my totem/guide.

The Nuthatch 

Such a powerful totem, who took me on a journey

from tree top to deep beneath the earth, grounding me 

in the moment, to watch the maiden rise from the mud.

I am filled with joy and hope for the coming year.

With this feisty little warrior to guide my steps

how could I not be.

I hope you all find such helpful guides in your lives.

Blessed Be
