wispy

translucent

gossamer wings

(dew drops held in gossamer webs)

DC: Time Travel

sitting
to write
to draw

opening
to the presence
of spirit friends

though i am here
you are there 

and here

time does not exist
presence
openness
is the vehicle
for this travel 

~

Summer Solstice ~

summer solstice 

time is here

time of bears and tiny deer

flowers cloak our forest floors

elves and crystals

treasures galore

inspired by a recent hike:

a bear that walked in front of me:

a newborn fawn in our woods:

 and my beautiful niece

Sofia:

we live in an area with deep seasons

NW Montana, USA

times like solstice are quite meaningful

and obvious

our days are long and nights are short

the earth is lush green

flowers galore

life comes alive with sunshine and rain

dc: Mood Board

 'she senses the inner realm of life

within her planet

as within herself

a crystalline realm 

of power and beauty'

it began with a sketch

inked with a dip pen in sepia ink

then played with watercolors

so fun

when i considered our drawing challenge this week: mood board

i thought of filling a page

with things that my spirit finds joy in 
and this painting came to life

~

Word Inspired Sketches

 Melody

Fusion

legend

once there was a girl
who skipped everywhere she went
a hoop in her hands
a hat on her head
she was known to inspire smiles

time
like a dream
