EMERGE and white wings...

Well, here it is. Done.

At least i think it's done.

I sometimes have to sit with it 

for a few days before i decide.

Not sure about the title...

EMERGE keeps coming to mind.

I just looked up a definition that reads:

Sea mammals must emerge periodically to breathe.

Yeah, sounds about right these days.

My apologies for the crappy photos.

Last night's painting is basically a "paint over".

(what you see here is already painted over)

I had done a painting a few years back

and hated it.

Every time i saw the painting in my studio,

i wanted to paint over it.

So i finally did,

and this one sits with me

far more comfortably than the other one did.

a few earthy, neutral colors...

and this little being was born.

I think this is the first time i've ever painted

in such neutral colors.

At least on canvas.

Maybe i just felt totally colored out

after EMERGE

and needed to get back to basics...

back to a more pure nakedness.

moon woman

Do you ever feel so connected to everything

that you could just reach out 

and touch the moon?

This started out as a watercolor

but i changed my mind rather quickly

and decided it needed bolder colors.

Especially for the moon and stars...

I had sketched this quickly

after a long evening walk

during the last full moon,

knowing that it would eventually

make it to my journal.

...there's just something about the moon

and a star filled sky,

isn't there?

A bit of added outline & detail

and yes, dots.

:-)

I don't have long flowing hair,

and her boobs are far more perfect than mine ;-)

and yet - I am a woman.

I am she

and she is me

and on this night

we both reached out

and touched the moon.
