Time to post some paintings ...

Its been a while since i used this blog , and now i would like to make some posts with the paintings i have been doing , please click on them to enlarge them .   I have moved into pieces with text in , and here in the 1st of them , from earlier last year .  Its about thanking that part of me that had been busy with holding on to old stuff where my energy doesn't need to be ,  and welcoming that energy forward into my current life .  Letting all that energy that was tied up in outdated struggles ,  which  could  make me very negative -    what i called my bitch voice -   come forward  into my life now ,  in a positive way  and become  my beauty voice  now instead. This painting came from thanking my beauty voice for all its strengths  that i can use now ...  

these next photos are of a sketchbook page from the time after I spent a vision quest day out on the land here ,  thinking  a lot about connectedness ..  feeling my connectedness with the place where i sat for 8 hours ..  and this felt pen doodle became a painting .  It goes round the edge of the deep canvas -  the way i often work ..  

( this text has decided to centre itself in the middle .. I like this colour ,  but i can't remember how to set the text back to the side ,  it seems to have a mind of its own .   I am clearly  more at home in my painting studio ...)

 

and finally ,  another progression from pen sketch to paintings -  this one came to me when i was driving down a country road ,  and i heard it from the old oak trees on the hedges ..
