A blue tint for my sketch of Gifts. Here we see one of the greatest gifts ever, this world. A gift from Eternal Spirit Creator Source, the Beneficent Force of the Cosmos. We are given the world, so what will we give back? The first offering is of music (that’s a dulcimer on her tray.)…
A is for Angel Art
| April 16, 2012 | Sketches |
I love angel art so I’m celebrating the letter A with an angelic sketch. This was sketched with Prismacolor Woodless Graphite 48 and colorized in Paint Shop Pro. It is a ten minute sketch – not intended to be perfect. I would like to make angels the subject of my art more often, but so…
River Girl Book Cover, part three
| March 10, 2012 | Acrylics, Book Cover |
After nearly a month, plus some procrastination and consternation, I’ve created a cover I love enough to put on my book! I got the best compliment ever on this painting when I took it downtown to be photographed a few days ago. Two girls came by and kept saying, “How beautiful!” They were drawn to…
River Girl Book Cover, part two
| February 18, 2012 | Meanderings |
I am only one cover away from having one of my novels published and have gone through a lot of frustration over this part of the project. As I mentioned in part one of this, I hired someone to do the cover but it was decided that I should do my own art instead of…
Flower of Love
| February 16, 2012 | Pen and COLOR |
Oh, my God! Do we need a sunny dream field, or what? A few nights ago I had a dream that my middle daughter, the one who won’t talk to me, invited me to her wedding. I was waiting for the punch line – something like “You can come but you must be silent and…

Today I’ve been re-thinking the cover of my soon-to-be novel, River Girl. I hired an artist to do the cover then discovered I cannot use it. I am so sad, and don’t know what to say to him about it. I’ve been advised (by my partner and investor) to make my own cover since I…

I used this as a Zazzle art design… personally I love it and “get” it but it is one of those designs that has never sold. In some ways my art of this sort might be too far-out for some people. I understand that. The back of the t-shirt says, “One never knows what may…

Quan Yin, goddess of compassion and vegetarianism. I am vegetarian… and love her visage. This is a sketch I did of my Quan Yin statuette, which I’ve placed into a meditation garden. I also placed this at the top of my Geniyyah blog, as a blessing. Geniyyah is one of my blogs for writing on…
