Angel of Peace

So much turmoil and sadness in our world.

Looking for comfort in images of calm and peace.

work on paper

The Wonders of the Universe

I know some birds who stared in awe at the wonders of our Universe.  

Six Bouquets

Little explosions to celebrate a special day!

Happy 4th of July!

Families

Two families on their pods.  (Collage with bar-codes, envelope liners, and other scraps.)

Twig Fantasy

 

One of my favorite thing to do:  drawing imaginary plants.  Occasionally I study an actual twig brought back from a nature walk, but mostly I prefer making my own version of things. 

Winter Twigs

Walking in winter:

Such delicate designs against the white of the snow. 

Going Somewhere?

They are going.  Who knows where they are going, but they are going.  

Another Tiny Leader

Collage and gouache.  Harmony in greens. 

Follow the Leader

A bird collage.  

The body of the little leader looks like a sideways bookshelf to me.  I like to think of following an educated leader who puts value in books, reading, the Arts, ethics.  

Promenade

An appropriate color theme for the day.
(Collage with postcards, rejected drawings, printer alignment test)

Moon Gazing

Collage in notebook.

Purely for the enjoyment of paper-scraps harmony.  

(Much use here of printer sheets from head alignment test.)

A Day of Marches

 

In support of all the marching birds, today.  

In honor of the right to march in peace.  

In hope of a kinder world.

Birds of All Colors

 

In honor of MLK day:

A Beautiful Speech,

uniting birds of all colors

(8.5x6.25)

Afternoon Stroll

In Honor of National Bird Day (January 5), a collage of birds.  

Two families meeting during their afternoon stroll. 

Follow the Leader

More birds.  It's an obsession, it seems.  At least, a harmless one.  

It is such fun to go through bits of papers and choose the ones that have to go together. 

Powdered Snow

A few years ago, I took a little Winter trip in Vermont.  It hadn't snowed much and the effect was of  a dusting of powder.  I painted these two little landscapes when I came back home.  (each: 12x12.  acrylic on board.)

Bridge

 

Bridge.

mixed media.

I've always liked the symbol of the bridge.  Here, between 2 very different worlds.
