Depth of Quiet


the depth of quiet
eternal
rich
sublime

so interesting to draw/paint her
as above, a meditative expression

and 

then to lay her this way:


she slept amongst the flowers
feeling the soil as her flesh
resting in the embrace of eternity
nourished in stillness sublime

she welcomes Summer with all her heart
leaning into the new season with celebration
and the desire to meld and learn

She


it is not by her ears or wings that we know
it is in her spirit that tells us
she is of another realm
~

this piece has been quite hard to photograph accurately
the eye detail above is a little darker than the original 
the other two pieces are a bit lighter

layers 
and layers
of pencil and markets
were used to create her face
this is a fairly large piece 
with hair 10"x22"
