Forest Bathing

 

Amongst the forest trees her aura began to glow, golden.

Always good to know how to enhance ones aura and vital energy.

~

I had so much fun designing these trees.

Entirely different from any I had painted before. 

Good chance they will show up in my art again, 

even though they take a bit of time.

Wee Fae

 

on her walk

a wee fae caught her attention

she always knew the folk existed

today, the little fairy

revealed herself 

with a bouquet of flowers

Summer Fruits

summer, her favored season 

she loves gathering flowers to cheer her home

and 

fruit for meals, holy cuisine

earth is green, mountains stand strong

listening to the heat of summer 

inspiring growth in all life

Sketchbook Art

Sometimes I pick up an old sketchbook 

finding pencil sketches begun,  

and I breathe new life into them

and 

then paint

~

there is something satisfying about finishing pieces

 ~

Wishing you a lovely spring day 

and 

beyond

Dragon Kin

oh to fly

through the skies

by the wings of a friend

divine!

~

I have been doing my 100 day challenge. 

At least my allotted ten minutes a day

which can lead to an hour or three

Since I usually do not think a piece through in advance

this one was a bit of a challenge to breathe 

life into. 

Lots of staring at it, waiting for the next step to come to me.

Fungi Sentries

they stood true

her sentries
among the wild weaving weedy seeds
her protectors

fungi who are from the underworld

and the heavens

~

looking out my windows

the world is white

snow clad forest

like sugar snow pours from the sky

it is no longer 

a colorful autumn world

Summer Solstice

 

Summer Solstice:

for 6 months the light of each day grew longer

inspiring the growth of all

 in her land

flowers, trees, fungi, animals and insects

as we

enter the season of summer

fresh food will be plenty

new flowers will grow

nature thrives

days begin to shorten

in her land 

it is a time to be outside

exploring

and

sharing with loved ones 

finding awe in the glory of the world

~

 

Lovely Solstice to you

DC: Nature

her very nature sprung from the forest floor 

inspired by the blooming fungi

though they were the fruit of the underworld

they also seemed like fairy kin

a mix of magic and earth

~

finding mushrooms

is a great joy

they are colorfully creative beings

one of my favorites also to photograph

they can be found in my photography shop
