Nothing is ever just Black and White

I started this piece by closing my eyes and doodling on a canvas with charcoal. When I opened my eyes I saw so many things in those lines and squiggles. I took a photo and posted it on facebook positioned four different ways (see below) and I was delighted to see that my friends saw many things in the doodle as well. What fun!

I decided I liked this positioning best.

Take Pleasure in the Adventure

This is another closed eyes sketch. I imagine the little reddish oval going on an adventure. I wonder which road she will take.

And if you know me, you know I LOVE upcycling things. Recently I was given two lovely candles that came in this tin and this jar. After using the candles I decided it would be fun to clean them out and paint the lids so they could go forward in life as whimsical little keep-sake containers. I've given them to two friends to take them for "usability test drives" and give me feedback.

Paths Connected

Looking at this piece I thought of a dear friend of mine. I just put it in an envelope and this morning it will begin its journey her way. I'm so grateful that our paths connected many years ago. What a wonderful gift friendship is.

This was sketched with my eyes closed and then later I added some thickness to some lines and then I added watercolor.
