Art my Sweet Solace

Here is my mixed media painting for Illustration Friday: Grow
written in silver:
Seasons change & it s the same in my soul garden
I sometimes find myself dwelling longer in the Rock Garden
I know I have to face the Darkness in me to keep growing the flowers of light of my Soul...

I really think and prove art is best consolation ^_^
and of course my love's hug and understanding & my dearest friends acceptance and support!
you're wonderful you all!
Jen I love you <3<3<3<3<3
thank you so much for supporting me ,for loving my work and for your purchase.
Truly made my day/night ^___^yay!

“Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin.”

Open

This is my artwork contribution for illustration Friday.
the theme is Open

I was thinking about Big Freedom, my tolerance improvement, my welcoming and accepting everyone as they are( even the cunt we can't help this!)
so the title of this painting is Come As You Are.

it's written in the background:
come as you are with your book of Pain & your broken pages I won't ask you to change
Come as you are get drunk of sweet madness elixirs
& find your wings You have the right to be free

If Emergency

the little stain on the nose is not on the painting, it is because of my scanner.

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.”
Harvey Mackay

Come out of the circle of time
And into the circle of love.

Rumi

The strange strangeness of existence

Getting to know you day, soul searching


I would have a lot to write, but it's getting late, I will reply to my own questions(yes indeed;)tomorrow if I can:)
you can have look to the link above and share your answers with me



Garden of Infatuations.

And my new series: The faery Knowledge collection.

I had this in mind for a while but never began it.
I will see how it goes.
Maybe I will make 10 of them or 100 ?
we'll see what the faeries have to teach me;)and you:)

no really it's not teaching,they come and go and they share their own philosophies.
sometimes it's sticky honey we can not really apply in our daily life at some moment.
But it's always poetic and lovely sayings that warm up the heart and I love it!
well parts of me love it, there is still the dark grumpy one who says " hey you H.honey where is the gloom? where is the darkness? I dont feel home here in these rainbow lands"









and here is my Illustration Friday: Missing
I titled it: Lacuna
beautiful word that could be a metaphore for a lot of things...

there is a lot in this painting,emotions,soul sharing,secrets,honesty and also a lot of unsaid.
It can be interpreted different ways and of course I am always glad when people can relate to my work and understand or remember pieces of them through my paintings.


***Many blessings, sweet dreams***

The magic of True friendship

so lately I'm feeling mellow, very sweet,smiling,blessed





so this one is inspired by the beautiful quote by anais nin:)
I so love it!the quote not the painting ;oP

It is just so true:)
each of my friend has made me grow and walk through new wordls inside of me, they create garden full of flower of their thoughts, sunbeams of their kindness and so forth ^_^

I am lucky to know you!









that one is for Rejection theme of Illustration Friday

he white writing on the right says:

" Can you hear me in all the songs you sing with them Am I special to you, will you plant a Flower of time in the forest of my heart am I unique to you? will you share a path just for us on our spiritual journey because I want this to be one of a kind(...)"

E List:

1)Ethereality: mine is my saviour it's made of imagination,wonders,emotions,passion and rivers of sugar and blissful flowers***

2)Eerie, love the word...the atmosphere...

3)Epiphany, revelation ,seeing the Light deeply,feeling the meaning of everything, understanding this life, this world,our reasons to be there...love Epiphanies!

4)Eidolon, such a lovely word, aren't they cute, inspiring for poetry?

5)electric... like that song by An pierlé, friends are electric...isn't it some circuit of energies that are traveling times,space and everything from soul to soul?

6)ellipse...not saying not showing... all in the sweetness of the unsaid ;)such a tortured delight (smiles)

7)Embrace, the hug and the act of accepting, loving things and persons as they are.

8)Embryo, like the word, the fascination for this unknown, it s kinda like death, we don't know this pre-life, we can t really recall but in dream or sensation,I would like to be able to draw embryo...I have many ideas of paintings for it, but if you look at the hands in the previous painting, sighs I still have a lot to learn!
But Goddess hands are so difficult to draw!!!!

well maybe I'll end up this list tomorrow, as now I will have some fun time (well not so much,it s sad film) we're going to watch Pompoko ^__^

I'll tell if it's worth watching, I am sure it is good & full of pretty sentiments :)
