Word Path • Love Letters

______________________________

Everyone has a word path. One word leads to another.

Word Paths have been a Friday feature showcasing possibilities in written words, creative process and artistic pieces from the beginning of my blog You can go here, to my first post on this project and see how it all started.

___________________________________________________________

Here is My Word Path for Today

We know what love feels like but what does love look like? I was just thinking about that and as I do each Friday wanted to share my thoughts, my words, my sentiments with you.

What does love look like to you?

Happy Weekend • Love • Enjoy the Language of Words

Ink, Gouache and Pencil Play

On the table today, well one of the things....I still have a blue floral in the works which I started last week and still working on. This circle painting was definitely a diversion, a fun diversion. Playing with my favorite mix of brushes and using ink, pencil and gouache.

The circle is my icon. When I paint, it is circular and confident in motion. When the brush is on the paper there is no hesitation.

I am very much attracted to the letters e and o.

What defines your style, your artistic hand?

Is there an icon or a symbol that comes up in your work either consciously or subconsciously?

What shows up in your work all the time?

Possibly it is:

Birds

Water

Trees

Color

Animals

Symbols

Circles

People

Shapes

Clouds

Nature

Time

And so on…

When you doodle, draw or put inspiration in your sketchbook.

What is your icon?

Look back at your older works. Interesting isn't it?

Here is an example of an older work which I blogged about back in September 2011 in a post called Hard to Part With , which talked about letting go of of our art and how it it is very difficult at times.

Funny to see the similarities.
The consistency in style is there and creatively that is a good thing.
I sold this Acrylic piece six years ago!

Here is My Word Paths for Today

I loved working on this today because the kids slept in and I had a chance to have a delicious coffee get into the studio by 6:45! I just love being in there making art.

These words have been swirling in my head this week as I thought about my Word Path for today. I feel strongly about owning your beauty. Moles, freckles, color, size and those wonderful curves, own all of it!

Happy Weekend • Own Your Beauty • Enjoy the Language of Words
