Spring Equinox

The Spring Equinox is on the 20th of March – next Thursday! We just had a lunar eclipse and then there will be a solar eclipse on the 29th. In case you didn’t know, eclipses always come in pairs. It’s been a busy month in the astral sphere! Over the last two weeks, I haveContinue reading “Spring Equinox”

UnCaged

Finished my artwork this morning, feel pretty happy with it. I call this mixed media piece UnCaged – Libre de la Cage. She pushed back the screen so that she could gaze out upon the garden which surrounded her small home. The garden was in full bloom, lush, smelling of flowers. Birds were singing happilyContinue reading “UnCaged”

Nurturing the Woman Inside

I have been thinking about my motivational ideas regarding my artwork and the new piece I have begun. The hidden garden of a woman, the secret garden, the inner self. That place where only those with an invitation are allowed to enter, and readily kicked out if they trespass in too bold a manner. IContinue reading “Nurturing the Woman Inside”

The Hollow Bone

Fog enshrouds my house this late fall morning. A warm cup of Chai at hand, and my Cat lies at my feet while I type. All is hushed, a perfect morning to blog, think, just be with myself. There are no outside distractions that I must attend to ~ not just yet. Winter will notContinue reading “The Hollow Bone”

Collage

I have the day off – Thanksgiving – and was able to finish my latest collage at last. My experimentation with fixing the ink jet print on Mulberry paper worked quite well. I did a little research and bought a can of Mod Podge Clear Acrylic spray. The image set, and I was able toContinue reading “Collage”

Out Sick

Pretty much my entire summer was lost due to illness. First, I coped with a banged up knee from weeding my garden last spring. Horribly swollen, unwilling to bend without pain. My bad knee is an old injury, from when I was a young woman, taking Kung Fu lessons. It has haunted me ever since.Continue reading “Out Sick”

Art Gallery

Today, I have been busy uploading my collage’s and paintings to my art gallery page. I did it in a slide show form, so unfortunately the names, dimensions etc. aren’t included. I grew exasperated with WordPress and my need to precisely place each image and the titles. I may change this, with some practice. TheContinue reading “Art Gallery”

Dreams of Art

Have you ever had a lucid dream? In general, I have about one lucid dream per moon cycle. This mornings lucid dream was me making artwork. It began with a vision of a female Shaman in a leafy wooded surround. It was a mixed media piece ~ decorative paper and acrylics. I “saw” the artworkContinue reading “Dreams of Art”

Roses

Today, I have been experimenting with my Epsom scanner, Photoshop and Camera Raw. I cut some roses from my garden this morning, scanned them in and played with the filters in Camera Raw. The entire day has been set aside for being playful and creative. I have needed this very badly – self care. TheContinue reading “Roses”

The Road Well Traveled

I have been listening to a new Audiobook, Lisa Marchiano ~ “The Vital Spark, Reclaim your Outlaw Energies and find your Feminine Fire.” It is a Jungian analysis of a woman’s journey; do you negate the soul kernel – who you are meant to be in this life time – and follow the path thatContinue reading “The Road Well Traveled”
