Illustration Friday – Expired

Staedtler Fineliner, Prismacolor Pencil on Vintage Book Page

Expired . . . . . extinguished, exhausted, come to the end of . . . . .what?  The end of an idea, the exhaustion of an existence, the extinguishing of a light?  But a journey never halts and a memory never expires.  

Remembering our dear sister, Claudette, today.  All of your creations and manifestations continue to inspire and comfort us.

Illustration Friday – Subterranean

Subterranean . . . . . what lies beneath is enlightening.  What are the roots?  Where is the origin?  Don’t stay too long.  The oxygen is limited and the light is temporary.  Live in the sun!!

Illustration Friday – Brave

Staedtler Fineliner, Prismacolor Pencil on Vintage Book Page

Brave . . . . .allowing assistance when all my ideas, resources and time seems to be a captive by everyday realities takes courage.  Thank you to all my creative sisters, mentors and teachers.  My appreciation to D for the red thread, Carol for her instruction and Marti for the artistic challenges among others. 

Sounds like an acceptance speach.  Too funny!!!!

Illustration Friday – Perspective

A worm’s eye view of a bird’s eye.

Perspective . . . . .from a point of view of seeing, not just looking.  Get close, what’s really there?
