Happy Valentines Day

Your love is king

Crown you with my heart

Your love is king

Never need to part

Your kisses ring

Round and round and round my head

Touching the very part of me

It's making my soul sing . . .

 - Sade

Chat Women

 

Resurrected and revived: Cupsaw women from

my summer sketch book. New ink techniques

superimposed on an old Starlet Chorus Line Queen.

Enjoy, mes amis. A bientot!

 

Red Frame, Watercolor on Paper

 

There is nothing more satisfying to me than a brush across a smooth sheet of paper. I push against the edges of the picture plane as if it contains four walls. I work with creating lines. I also use combinations of three colors which I assign tonal hues. I build layers of vivid colors where forms emerge and recede and others are pulled into the foreground. As I work, I never stop thinking of these elements. There is no greater harmony to me then when the struggle of arranging the composition is complete.
A bientot!

Self Portrait of Sorts

These legs are roots for your thirst.

These arms are branches for your play.

These hands are leaves for your protection.

This heart is a canopy of love for you both.

Maya Angelou Sketch

Did a quick sketch of a Maya Angelou sculpture then brought it home and filled it with colored pencil. Enjoy. A bientot!
