You are going to be able to watch this 

design come to life.

Above is the original pen and in sketch.

Here you see how I start thinking about color.

I typically lay a sheet of vellum over

the sketch or as here, the canvas....

then have fun with my Prisma pencils.

I've painted a little copper on the wings here.

Plan to sparkle this one up with copper mesh.

Sunday Mornings...

... ahh

a beautiful walk started this Sunday ...

... after a great walk ... a great amount of creativity. 

Last Sunday ...
I was spinning with my sweet Granddaughter!

A couple Sunday's before ...
Best Friends meeting up for dinner after our 40th reunion.
Goodbyes are not my forte'!

I think we all turned out pretty awesome!
We four were tight all through high school.
How wonderful it was to see them again
and to have that connection instantly there ...
magic.

journeys...

... life is a journey ...

This phrase has been repeating 

through my brain today.

I've been lucky to have many.

They started at the tender age of two.

One month from now will find me here.

I've no idea who took this picture ...

but I thank you.

These mountains, the valley, the river that flows through ...

this is my home and holds my heart.

I can't believe I left 40 years ago!

So many journeys I've had since.

This morning found me wondering 

when I might come upon a clearing 

on my path where my brain and heart say ...

this is it, this is the place you'll stay.

Until then ... this is where I am today.

Starting a new piece and dreaming up new.
