Sister Golden Hair, naked & free!

hello Munchkins!

I've been wanting to post now for days
but always seem to get distracted by one thing or another.
(sound familiar?)

Dramatic skies the night of the funeral
for the 3 slain RCMP officers in Moncton...
When something like this happens so close to home,
it always makes me think about those places in the world
that are in constant conflict.
Places where people kill one another 
like it was a sport.
Hard to understand the world sometimes...

But life goes on...

A happy apple tree!
not sure i'm done with it yet.
I'll most likely be adding something to it.
Probably dots.
(giggle)

I did this a few nights ago,
with the intention of doing a collage of words.

Then out of the blue,
was inspired to draw this...
thinking I would somehow tie in the words later

But then it became all about the illustration
and less about the words.

So i resigned myself to the fact that Sister Golden Hair
wanted all the space to herself.

 So i let her.

 It was so much fun doing this.

It always amazes me how we can have one intention in the beginning,
and then the piece takes on a life of its own.
They say it's the same with writing.
Speaking of which,
I've been working feverishly on my book.
Well, ok, maybe feverishly is a strong word.
If i get any fever at this time of the year,
it's caused by too much sun. ;-)
Happy Wednesday everyone! 

For all the hippies out there...
Sister Golden Hair.
