Artwork from this week: The purple one I finished today. It reminds me of Perelandra, the world created by C. S. Lewis. If you having difficulty with visuals his book is filled with amazing imagery, vivid descriptions of all types. I think the sky was actually gold in the book but I usually add a little to what I read with my own ideas. The foreground is the warm water that the main character finds himself floating in when he first gets to Perelandra. There were high waves of the ocean and floating land masses - which were hard to latch on to.

One of my favorite books - Perelandra. Wish I could make a connection to goodreads.com. It is a great place to find books and a good way to keep up with what you have read and want to read.

That painting above is starting to look different to me. The colored area is starting to take on shapes that I didn't know were there. As watercolor dries it actually changes and developes unintended effects. Most people enjoy these little surprises, I do.

Many times I gravitate towards this smaller paper size for working with pen and ink. About 4 by 6 inches. Is it ok to write with sentence fragments in a blog? And not punctuate correctly? Don't know.   My son told me I could pay him to proof-read my blog for me....I told him I could pay him with milkshakes. He didn't proof-read anything yet.

  1. Nancy! I was thinking the same thing, that much of your art (or at least on these first pages) reminds me of what I imagined Perelandra might look like. I just thought I might be wrong...plus, I was reading your blog backwards.

    Aren't you happy to know I "saw" what you were thinking before I read what you wrote about what you drew?

  2. That's great, I am encouraged that you thought of that book also. This picture, drawing just tumbled out. Sometimes they come quickly, but sometimes I think about them for days before beginning work on them.
