wow, this is fantastic! Wonderful composition :)
Thanks Lin - I thought making her an "angel" was too obvious... This way she gets a second look.
Love the Berry Maiden. Great how you worked in the crows.
Who said one needs to have sense to be able to draw? (heh) Thank you, though - I'm out working on a table and buffet for a store - pics later tonight if I remember !
I'm supposed to be painting this huge saw for a client - but had to re-coat it w...
oh patrice.. this is lovely... i am not an artist in the drawing sense..... i hope the new owners get many years of wonder from this work... jx
The photographs are incredible, girl. Like you - I took quite a break from the computer - that is to say: I concentrated only on making and posting - very little interaction as I had to work constantly to eke out even the tiniest living. For the m...
Whew! Glad you got pics before she was snatched!
I'm not surprised by the speed, tho'... :-)
Happy Labor Day Weekend...
Thanks, DJ.
She's called: The Berry Maiden... twenty minutes after I hung her at the gallery, she was sold! Off to a new home. Made it a good Friday indeed.

- Wonderful tiles, Barb. I love the movement/motion of the raven in the turquoise air. Thanks for posting this... One of these days, I'll have time to get back to CCS and share. Just trying to survive - had to take a temp job that ends soon...
best wishes!

- As I get older, I'm a more conservative rider. I say that yet I get on these wild horses every weekend. Saddlebred/TWH crosses are my faves. Their gait is the smoothest ride ever. A funny story about an oval: my friends cut an oval in their pasture some years ago, to exercise their horses and have "redneck races" on Saturday nights. It was pretty large, like a race track. Their horses would have their own races on that oval, all by themselves, if nobody was out there to ride them. So anyway they rescued this horse and brought him home. He was a small gelding, supposedly a thoroughbred, supposedly a retired race horse. So I thought, he's no race horse, he's too little. I saddled him up and got on him. He lit out for that oval like greased lightning. It was the scariest ride of my life, and all I could do was grab a handful of mane and pray, until he decided to slow down. They were rolling on the ground laughing.
I live in Smyrna, so I'm not too far from you. I'll have to mapquest it and see when I can get up there........

- She's probably only about 16h, not very big. I've been riding some 18h horses recently...they feel like giants. If we're practically neighbors,I'd love to come see your horses! (and maybe take a ride?)

- Hi Patrice,
Two weeks, yikes. I'm pretty sure I got this from a guy who called to have me do an estimate on housecleaning and then stood me up. I had no idea he was sick until later ... I didn't do the job, but did come in contact and shook his hand when we met. Ravenrest brought me the message to rest :) I've slept most of the day away with the aid of Nyquil ... the cough is the worst.

- Hope you're feeling a whole lot better now, Patrice. Yesterday afternoon I came down with the creeping crud :( Prolly spend the day curled up on the couch with a heat pad and cup of ginger tea. Yuck. I get so frustrated and impatient with myself for not having the energy to do a darn thing! Eventually it becomes obvious I'm just making things worse with my anxiety about it so I'll have to just go with it.

- Hi Patrice, Honey is not my horse. She belongs to a friend of mine. I ride a lot but don't have a horse of my own right now. So I end up riding the "extra" horses my friends have, the ones nobody else wants to ride. So I do quite a bit of bronco-busting, but at least I get to ride!

- I can't pick one. But there is a certain something that clicks at unpredictable times - and then the work just flows. Sometimes it's with the initial idea, more often during the process and once in a while not until the "editing" phase, when I realize what change/s will make it right.
- What's Your Biggest Creative Dream?
- Being able to paint/create without the pressure of supporting myself. I'd love not to be such a slave to commissioned pieces.

More birds!!! (heh)

Black Birds...
Right now I find myself painting birds one right after another... Like many artists, I am especially drawn to black birds: crows, ravens, and of course - blackbirds, and even red-winged blackbirds. But I like the shapes of starlings, grackles and other sleek avian specimens as well - and expect to see them all flitting and sitting on future canvases and panels.
There is much symbolism surrounding the images of black birds. From the Aberdeen Bestiary (early Catholicism) which was written in the… Continue

Hearing voices...
Sunday, January 25, 2009
I've managed to keep her mostly silent these past several months. Her angst and fear can drive calm and confidence from the most secure and self-possessed, not to mention me. I'm the best of her - and yet I'm just another of her selves, her voices - the one somewhere in the middle that she returns to - tuning in after a swing to one precipitous edge or another... the even-toned, reassuring voice of optimism.
She heard me this past week, speaking over the others; not… Continue
