Illustration Friday : "Path" - Women's Day

Path

To every woman, 

And her spirit

This day is yours,

Like every other.

Take the path you desire,

It is your destiny to reach higher.

So Spread your wings and fly,

To meet the infinite sky.

Illustration Friday ..."Radio"

The Vintage Radio
One song comes to mind...

"Yesterday Once More"

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favourite songs, When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.....

...The Carpenters

Illustration Friday ..."Skull"

Peel away the layers,

to discover what lies beneath...

....you may be very surprised,

with what you find.

Illustration Friday..."Wheel"

The potter at his wheel,

Spins a slender dream,

Like a tune or a song,

A bit of clay takes form,

Stretching and turning,

Spinning and curling,

A work of art is born.

Illustration Friday..."Hitched"

Hitched

 

I hitched a ride down memory lane,

Softly bumping along the way.

Never a hurry, nor a worry,

The sweet feeling of a lazy day.

Illustration friday..."Twirl"

Twirl

till all merges...the world

with the colors of your soul

Illustration Friday......"mesmerizing"

Mesmerizing.....

from a world beyond.

Intriguing.... a face that seems to haunt.

Illustration Friday...."Stay"

Pretty footprints in the sand,

Please stay,

Like memories of yesterday.

Illustration Friday...."Soaked"

Relaxing in a tub....what magic!

If they find you soaked to the bone.... that's tragic!

Illustration Friday..... "Cultivate"

The face you see,

Is not the face of the real me,

I have cultivated a style,

The way I speak, the way I smile,

To impress and to dazzle,

And it is a strange puzzle,

Don't think I've lost my mind,

But my real face I cannot find.

Illustration Friday..... "Reverse"

'Reverse ... a change to the opposite not only in side or position but also in direction, order, sequence, relation, or bearing. 

An interesting definition that of course had me thinking of all the wild possibilities. This little mouse got lucky! In a reversal of fortune and role, the mighty mouse is getting the better of the timid tiger. Life can be strange sometimes so be ready to learn and break the norms.

Reverse psychology seems to have given the mouse a bit of courage. Someone must have told him "you can't scare a tiger, you little fellow!"

Illustration Friday

 

Subterranean....the topic set me thinking, visualizing all the monsters under the earth, waiting to dig their way out, but what if a very pleasant being sits below the surface, ethereal and luminous, creating the splendor we see. A quick illustration with ink and watercolor wash.
