Mother Mary
I found this pencil sketch in my drawing books. I thought I had drawn it exactly a year ago today and I thought how fortunate and appropriate. It is actually anabstract sketch of Mother Mary that I did 11 years ago in 2009. I have scanned into the computer and put some colouring to it.
Today, being Christmas Eve, I think it is important to not only be cherishing the birth of Christ but also give much recognition to Mary. It is a time of celebration.
I have Mary with a huge aura as she is an enlightened being. She is the mother of Jesus Christ. She was visited by Archangel Gabriel to tell of her that she would be the mother of Jesus. According to Luke 1:26-38 “Don’t be afraid, Mary. You have found favour with God. 31 You will become pregnant, give birth to a son.”
According to Dictionary’s website, “Mary is revered for her humility and motherly love. … She is honoured by all Christians, but particularly by Roman Catholics, who believe strongly in her mercy and her power to intercede with God. The Roman Catholic Church also teaches the doctrine of Mary’sImmaculate Conception.”
Merry Christmas!

Grass Growing
Sometimes such as now, I feel as if we are watching grass grow. It is small and miniscule. You do not see progress everyday but it is there growing. Such is the time with the Corona Virus, progress is being made to defeat, eliminate or decrease its effects. Time will be the answer as we watch the “grass grow.”

I AM Female
As a survivor of child sexual abuse and sexual harassment as an adult, I am releasing and forgiving those who hurt me in inappropriate ways. I am part of the “Me Too” movement and did not have the guts to say anything a few years ago when most people were coming out about what happened to them.
I love and accept my body exactly as I am even though people have hurt me in ways that should not be forgivable but now are.
The physical body is beautiful and is a sanctuary for our spiritual soul. I have survived despite what has happened to me. I love who I am and who I have become. I celebrate who I am – as a soul having a physical experience on this Earth.

Green Hues On Metal
This is a creation of abstract art with various hues of green and a base of metal. As is my norm, I listen to music when I create the abstract art piece.

This is the original to the mixed media Journey’s End from the day beforehand. I liked it in and of itself as it was so have decided to put the original source of inspiration up.

Caterpillar Evolving
This is my interpretation with a caterpillar evolving. It sheds off its skin in an attempt to become something better than it is.
It is a drawing with gel ink pens.

This drawing is simply to show you after all the abstracts that I do, that I can do a traditional rendering or drawing of an animal. I realize that some of you who have seen my work but do not understand “abstract” art wonder if I can “really” draw. In this case, this is a giraffe with a little bird on its back that I quickly sketched up.
I remember a time when my high school art teacher was promoting me doing abstract art and I remember fighting it “tooth and nail” thinking that the person really could not draw. I just did not understand at the time and I was not into experimenting back then or even symbolism as much.
