Wild in the Woods

"Wild in the Woods" mixed media on paper

 

 

 

Wild in the tangled woods, the witch offers the lost child an apple. " Is she a good witch or a bad witch ?" asks the child. " We don't know yet my dear." answered the mother to her beloved. "Is the apple poisoned Mama?" asked the child. "I don't know my beloved" answered the mother again. "It is the fruit of knowledge my dear....and sometimes the truth is painful....it is neither good nor bad."

Painting to "see"

Where does your soul go...your heart, your mind?...it wanders sometimes in the dark. And that is ok. Without the dark we can not have the light...balance they say...but it swings........

Spirits in the Wood

Some times ....we all feel a little naked....a little exposed.

We bare our souls to another...and the journey in life happens....it is not easy to be human.

"Eastport House", mixed media on BFK Rives paper

I have been playing with houses for about a year.

Straight lines sometimes scare me...but come to find quite often the lines are not as straight as you think they are gonna be....kinda like the path we are all on...it rarely is on the straight and narrow and a direct path....



If the Foundation is weak...the entire structure will be too.

What the heck!? Autumn is in the air...so very soon. The first of August the smell of Fall was in the air. Don't get me wrong I love Autumn, the pumpkins, Halloween, the feel of it all....the light that carries the day. But with Fall comes a certain sense of panic...Do I have the fire wood ready, do the kids have enough warm clothes?...The schedule changes and I am not ready for the change to come quite yet....we wait so long for summer and this one has been fleeting. Spring was late and Fall is early....
