yeah, well of course i made a new book!
now that i'm home i used some watercolors and oil pastels.
the crown bled through to the back so this Being has one too...
mostly i stuck to colored pencils, though...
the cover so far - inspired by jeane and her muslin gluing down... at the rate i'm going it's gonna change a lot by the time the book's done.
i spent most of my days outside last week - it was glorious! we made a trip to mt. shasta...
still a lot of snow there.
we saw sandhill cranes on the way! oh, i love, love, these birds...
i drew on some sticks...
and a can. there's a lot of stuff out there to draw on!
happy spring!

Wow. Lynne, if I'd known you'd be so close to me we could have met. Well, next time.
ReplyDeleteMt.Shasta looks awesome. You must live in a gorgeous area.
How fantastic to see all that snow on Shasta... that's got to be really good news this year.

How'd I know you'd be going to the MT? My last name rhymes with Mountain: Brattain. I sure enjoy seeing your faces but I haven't discovered any more in my work lately.
ReplyDeleteJust love that rusty tin you drew on...there sure are plenty of things out there to draw on!
ReplyDeleteLove your latest faces, especially with the chicken bits and seeing the lovely Mt. Shasta again and all of that snow.

Your book is so beautiful,is it hard to paint on muslin,I would think it would be. Also love how you just paint on things like the stick and can!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you create wondrously beautiful art!
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring to you~

ReplyDeleteIs Ms Chook Head for sale? Is she? Is she?
I'm such an idiot. She's part of the book. Is the book for sale?
ReplyDeleteLoving the book -- the faces and that cover!!
ReplyDeleteWhen it's done of course.
ReplyDeletethat's called 'buying off the plan'
Happy Spring, Lynne!
ReplyDeletehello to the rooster head and the jug head, too. i am so enjoying seeing all your face books unfold. they make me feel better. :0) not that i am feeling poorly. they just elevate me happily.
ReplyDeleteYes, happy spring to you and your many faces! -J
ReplyDeleteLynne guerrilla/woodland art is just the best! I'd love to be wondering around in the woods and find your miraculous little treasures. They never fail to bring a big smile to my whole body. Hoping for spring sometime soon here.

hi buffy, no, it isn't hard to paint on muslin after you've 'prepared' it with acrylic paint. sort of like gessoing a canvas. thank you... : )

ReplyDeletethanks for your message Beautiful Woman, i will answer soon(ish).. Loving your Faces..
ReplyDeleteLynne,
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring to you too. Love, love, love your books! and your drawings on sticks are fabulous! If you like birds you should check out my hubbys photos there is a link on my blog. Tim Zurowski is his name and photography is his game and birds his favorite subject.
I can't tell you how much your faces inspire me. Oh and killer boots! :)
Hugs
Happy Spring to you and Mt Shasta... do you think the mountain cries out under that snow for some warm sunlight and a bit of green roots stretching through and grass and birds?
ReplyDeleteIts been warmish here, almost eighty one day and seventies but also cooler... spring flowers out and about... you are in bloom always!
Exo Blessings
Thankyou for the beautiful comment. xox
ReplyDeleteI miss the snow-capped mountains, so lovely to see one. In Australia, the mountains are so old they no longer reach high enough to be topped in snow.
So wonderful to see the loving faces. I especially adore little chicken-head and your drawing on the rusty tin can.
I hope you keep spreading your wonderful drawing-love.

The art is on everplaces, nice job :)
