Covid Dreams, My Eyes Can Travel

I started this drawing in April of 2020 when I was staying in LA at the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic. It captured my feelings about being in quarantine.

She Wanted to Go Home

This is a follow up painting and poem to my last weeks blog called Sisters. It was done as a tribute to those we love who leave us too soon.

Sisters

Sisters, is a watercolor that was inspired during a class I was teaching in an art gallery. It was a watercolor class, and the exhibit at the time in the gallery, was a mix of sculpture and paintings.

Letting Go

The pencil painting I am sharing today is called Letting Go, and I would have to say this is kind of a fairytale image. The princess heads off to the castle, dancing along a tightrope high in the clouds.

Balance

The concept of living a balanced life is not really about
All things being equal.
There really is no safe place,
Calamity could befall us at any moment.

Memories or Visions, I Choose Visions

The magic comes in the process of the unfolding, words and pictures brought together.
Reality created from a dream or a vision

Thoughts on Bravery

Some days, It takes being brave
Just getting up in the morning
Especially when it feels like the odds are against you.

Free Will

Now to this pencil painting called Free-Will. It is about making decisions for ourselves and letting go of the stories of my Christian upbringing which were always a challenge for me.

Trust

“How much do you trust what you can’t control? How far on to the target are you willing to go?”

Buddha Moon

This piece, Buddha Moon, captures a need in me, and maybe you as well, to have a place to go to rest, rebuild, and renew
