Orange Art Vignette Detail

I once asked a dear artist /mentor/friend who had the same impulses as me to create these carefully placed vignettes of color, shape and texture

whether what we were doing

could be considered

Art.

She decided that it definitely was, especially when it was photographed.

I agree.

Carefully placing bits of beauty together in a puzzle-like process until they just click in my eye, mind, soul.

Art making at its most simple, and infinitely satisfying.

Especially when captured through my lens.

 

Happy Monday, Beautiful Ones !

Get your Art on !

The Month of Impossible Waiting…

How does a warm weather loving Rock Fairy spend the dull, cold days of February ?

Rocking a new hairdo and puffy, chapped lips.

Lighting candles and sending love to friends in need.

Painting rocks.

Trays of them.

For a spring wedding of an old friend.

Spending time with fast growing and oh, so sweet little Jayden and his Mom.

Trying to take good time for myself and get back to some creating just for me.

A great therapy and escape from winter blahs.

Which I remember whenever I put myself into the studio and give myself a little push !

Creating without any goal in mind.

Letting the spray ink blobs guide me…

Adding in color where it wants to go.

And on this page, finishing it off with some found poetry.

Grabbing a bit of text from a book and circling words that want to fit in…

Leading to a little tale of impossible waiting.

A tale this warm weather loving, winter weary chickie can relate to.

I hope your impossible waiting time is filled with love and light, and sweet creating, Beautiful Ones!

I am having a great week with my friend Suzanne. It is so easy and fun to be with an old friend who just gets you !

Yesterday we went to the League of NH Craftsmen Fair  (https://www.nhcrafts.org/craftsmens-fair-overview.phpt) at Mount Sunapee Resort,  and saw so many inspiring and beauty pieces of art. We also met many artists who generously share their stories, talents and knowledge which was a real joy ! Art, best girlfriend, time and a sunny August day. What could be more joyful?

I also had a revelation in the last few days. I have been realizing how much I have let go of some of my favorite tools to wellbeing. Why do we do that ????

Well, one tool that I love and that brings me so much loving goodness, is giving freely without expectations. Getting out of my own mind traps and thinking about others, and how I can add just a little more love into the world.

The Rock Fairy has been a little lazy lately ! Time to get back in the action !

I have been painting some beautiful Rock Beings lately, getting ready to fill up the Etsy shop and sell some wares.

But I think it is time to give away these bits of loving art just for the sake of sharing it and spreading some love.

This"Shine Your Love Light" rock is going to be abandoned on my journey today. Not sure where, but it will be sent out into the world in a love bubble.

Even just thinking about giving like this fills my hear with JOY ! 

I am thinking a Rock Being giveway here on the blog is a good idea too!!! Stay tuned in the next couple of days for the details ! 

Happy Thursday, Amazing Ones ! 

May it be a joyous one !
