watch out world

i recently put it out to the universe
that i am ready to get my car back
(it has been at the auto shop for almost 3 months waiting for parts)
and–voila! the parts appeared

so!
i put it out to the universe
that i am ready to be successful
(so i can at least pay for my car repairs!)

watch out world

the snow fall has me in hibernation mode, but i am feeling very artsy
so i made some new pieces & continue to work on my business cards

in my heart

what i have been meditating on….

good or bad, my actions do not define me.
only i know what is in my heart
therefore
i cannot possibly know
what lives in another person’s heart
& should not judge them by their actions.

up top: “releasing the bluebird of happiness” 6X6 mixed media on watercolor paper…$35
above left: “let’s save the species” 8X8 charcoal pencil & soft pastel on watercolor paper…$55
above right: “those meddling kids…they might just save the world” 9X12 charcoal pencil & soft pastel on watercolor paper…$75

all of these were done by making an ink stain & finding an image in the stain…you know, reading the universe’s tea leaves.

a fairy tale life

i am searching
for a way
to tell a story with my art
as the true story of me
unwinds in my heart
& head
retold
with a new voice
i try to find
the best path
forward

my process for this one (& for “escape”) is to stain a piece of watercolor paper, find an image in the stain, and bring that image/story to life with pencils, oil pastels, ink, & acrylics.
i like what is happening.
& it is kind of a blend of techniques i have used as well as new approaches to art.
maybe i should throw in some collage?
i guess as i figure out who i am…i figure out how to express what i need to express.
