Feathers in Her Hair

A Scratchy thought in my Journal becomes inspiration for a self portrait.

Un-Finished Thoughts

Un-finished thoughts taken from my Journal

saved up for Rainy-Days....

"I wish to show you Truth herself; for I have brought her down from above, so that you may see her without her veil, and understand her beauty."

An Attitude Towards Existence

"I'm looking at the moon, But i'll be see you"

"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."

Esteban

I made this portrait and somehow, unintentionally, made Damien Rice look like a sleazy, Spanish gangster. Talent that I have? Not sure...

I am calling him Esteban.

New Piece!

All the stitches are in place, now I get to watercolor! Can you tell what it's going to be...?

For Every Stitch Turned A Lesson Learned..

So, I have discovered watercolor, but in my own unique and labor intensive fashion.

First, I sketch out my subject in pencil on my paper.

Then, in a pain-staking and tedious manner I hand stitch every single black line I want in the composition.

Once the sewing in finished, I paint away with the end result being a dreamy watercolor with crisp, black edging! I am in love!
