Stone Cloud


I went away this week
Up the North Fork to Polebridge
stayed in a cabin named Stone Cloud

the name of this beautiful and wild land inspired this painting:


while in Stone Cloud
the mountains became her wings
~

today is the last day of February
which is the last day of Alaya's 29 Faces!

Thank you so much for hosting this inspiring event!

~
and yes
the stones around here can be quite colorful:

but the land was not summer 
it is still very much winter here:

Drawing Faces....


last week i created a painting
and the gal had flowers for hair

seems tonight I needed to draw more flowers...


I had glued tissue paper down in a lavender color,
later
looking at the page I saw this woman in the edges of the torn tissue
'she rose from the edges'
