AEDM day 3

A simple sketch with a touch of watercolor.....not much else to say about it.

I love the black and white with just one color.... I had to stop here as i was tempted to keep adding color, but i like it as it is now....

my world is golden

the whole world here has turned golden...

 

shades of yellow and orange...

 

sunkissed flowers...
 

 falling leaves....

fields of golden rod...

 

linking to mandarin orange monday and maybe even joining in on Blogtoberfest where we will all post daily in October... not sure I can make that but I'll give it a shot.

Coi and crow, the new mother painting

It's mandarin orange monday and i promised a painting video...well it is lost in youtube, it seems it takes more  than 1day of being uploaded to youtube to make it visible even when i am typing the exact tags. I seem to have two accounts and can't sign into the correct one from google... All this makes no sense to me............. so today i just have photos of the painting, maybe tomorow the video will be available....

I can't exactly say why all these mothers are naked, it's just the way i see them. You can read into that what you will, and the same for the coi and crow, i had no actual symbolism in mind, it's just what I saw. This was actually reworked over and over, i had such trouble with the hair. I saw it as a mass of swirling moving coi getting tangled in her hair and I think it's finally like my thought but it took a bit of changing things to get there. I took out at least 2 more crows that were originally there. I wanted the leaves to be swirling away from the new mother, all energy coming from her.....
