Coming off the Easel this Week

 This fist showing of the Roosters is for a class I'm teaching in Roosters. This is all the prep work plus pictured on the chair is a rooster done on wood. My next student has a project featuring roosters on wood so I thought I'd do one to show her how easy it was going to be for her to do.
 Not sure where these Lily's in space are headed, stay tuned. they could be done or, a work in progress.
 This piece was inspired from a piece of crystal a friend of mine used that she incorporated into a prayer stick she made. The colors in the background are of the crystal, amethyst and aveturine lying on a spayed cad red. I asked my friend what were the certain powers of this crystal and she told me , prosperity, grounding, abundance, healing, connectivity, heaven and earth. Using a sort of visual artists word play, I began to sketch what these words would look like inside of me, to me and from me, as I only have me for a reference. This is what emerged.
And lastly, my friend Michele came over and we had a little creative time together. She worked on her dolls and I on this painting. It's a Japanese Noodle Shoppe.
