New Painting

Just posting another small victory ... you see the multitude of medications I take make my hands shake, and so painting has become more difficult in the last six months for reasons completely unrelated to my vision.

Still, I was happy today to be able to sit down and put to canvas a painting I've had in my head for awhile. Third in the series following these two. Remember these?

"And All the Stars Wept With Her"

Swimming the Stars

Well here's the finale, and I am pretty happy with the way she turned out. Funny, without the wings she looks like I picture my female lead from Godspeed in my head...
"Keeper of Starlight"

Usually I am inspired to paint after I write a poem, this one, the poem will follow.

Hope you are all having a very happy Tuesday. Squeeze ever moment of peace and joy you can out of every last second of it.

  1. How absolutely lovely, Bru! You know, with enhanced ebooks, you'll soon be able to publish a book of poems with these paintings as illustrations. I hope you'll consider doing them as a collection. The "swimming with the stars" one might make a wonderful cover image. So would the new one. You have a unique vision and your palette is soothing and enticing at the same time.

  3. Thank you Anne, you are too kind! What a cool idea, to put the paintings and the poetry together in an enhanced ebook, I will have to keep that in mind! :~) xoxo

    Hi Michelle! Pixie was what I was thinking, like Tinkerbell but you could call her a fairy, that would work too I suppose. Interesting I just Googled trying to find the actual difference between fairies and pixies and am reading pixies have Celtic roots- and they usually didn't have wings. But Tinkerbell did. Huh. Who knew all this stuff could get so complicated LOL. Either way, glad you like her! :~)
