"The Bee Queen's message"

I have been continuing with this story the crows had to tell.... 

I have the whole idea planned now,

I have written the story and named it,

i have done 5 and two halves paintings on my lunch hours in between trips to the river,

I have imagined all sorts of ideas about what i want to do with this,

like make it into a little pocket sized book,

with a bee queen doll to match and a  fabric crow and the queen's symbol necklace...

and usually...

this is about the time...

that I tend to get sidetracked with a new idea and quit....

 WIP...

Ideas like crows

are arriving in murders

yet quick to depart

I'll keep you posted if I make any more progress,,,

There have been no signs of spring in my yard yet so I planted some seeds to see a bit of green .... 

mint

parsley

basil

 Pretty spindly..... but they are growing, my son hasn't dumped them or my cat chewed them, so all is well in their world for now.

I wanted to paint something at work the other day,

and i had no plan in mind, 

i hadn't sketched anything, 

I didn't feel like drawing anything out .... 

i just wanted to see paint flow...

 and quickly. 

Used to be a falling lady would appear or a mandala... 

i thought about a mandala and just letting it be wobbly without having drawn any circles or pans out....

 but what appeared was this...

You can see I didn't use any pencil, just dove right in... 

so then I just kept adding animals around her....

Then it seemed like she had a story to tell...

so i did another painting the same way....

And I taped it up above my ugly work area to ponder, and see if her story comes to me....

 Crows keep appearing

Murders of crows still coming

tales to tell I think

 

Happy Paint party friday, and hello all at haiku my heart!

watercolor with a bit of white

I did this a few months ago and never posted it. I was having fun playing with the flowers in the back ground and her hair. there's no black pen used:  it's all fine line payne's gray watercolor. But then I did use a white pen for some highlights and the flowers, which I don't normally do. They other new thing was I did the shading on her face with pencil instead of all watercolor.

hopes and plans and goals

Wishing on dandelions
