The Helmet

As ever, KB reminds me how long it was since their last picture and hints that they would like another one. Well after a hard few days working in the garden I settled down to draw KB's picture, which was created on the 14 April 2014. I knew when I was sketching the picture I wouldn't be removing that may lines and the sketch is nearly as exact as the finished picture.
 I love the helmet that appears on the left, but what is inside, I sometimes see a cat instead of a helmet and I love the bee. If I ever need a helmet I'm getting the red stripes painted on it. I also love the tree coming into bloom.
Is it a maze or something else, not sure but I know its along way down. I love the little door way in yellow that allows you to wander into KB's utopia, and can you spot the face with the open mouth. I love the viaduct and hopefully it will be ring the joy it was meant to.
I miss KB's cat which appears in the bottom right and hence brought KB a message. I love the goddess in the picture as well, in fact I love the colours, the warmth and knowing I will spot more things in the picture. I know KB loves it, no doubt it will be hanging in her room and the last one sent to the other wall with the other pictures.  Can you spot the squirrel, and the two red shoes (AH influence) and if anyone knows where the ruins are can you let me know. Enjoy.

The surprise

It's been ages since I've done a drawing and reading I only thought it was a couple of months but it's been ages!!! Sorry for the followers of this blog, I have otherwise been engaged.

This was a request from LG and was created on 27 February 2013, I hope they like it. I get a great sense of celebration and a party in this picture, I know you can associate this with the balloons, but a love the combination of colours. Love the little Trojan horse (I discovered how die hard Christians call supporters of other religions "Trojan horses") and the Puffin and the Pike. We also have a ant eater a funny looking maggot and even funnier elephant and the more I look I get ta feeling for  a small bird with a red beak which i have not mentioned in the reading. There is so much in this picture that relates to strength especially inner strength, using ones own instinct and whilst our journeys are hard they are achievable. LG has also two people watching over them offering both love and protection.

The Net

So, straight after completing KB's drawing I created "The net" for LB on the same day (12th October). There is a lot of soul searching and rebirth in this picture, a very symbolic picture. I felt that something is brewing and needing to be  released and a new direction and journey are about to begin. I love the necklace, the face and the net. Whilst some of the images mean nothing to me, I remember what I was taught as a fledgling, that they might nothing to you but may mean a lot to the person receiving the message. I do love the reappearance of a very special cat and the love from a man with a pipe ( between me and  LB) This is one of those pictures I see more in after it has been delivered.  I hope LB likes it and the reading.

KB's Glastonbury

Firstly apologies for not being on my blog for nearly two months but I have started a new job in September and have been getting to grips with my new role. Anyway I decided to do a picture and reading for LB and settled down to draw and lo and behold as soon as my pencil hit the paper I knew I was drawing it for someone else.
So this was created for KB on the 12th October 2013. When I was drawing the picture, I got a sense of balance and that basically in a nut shell for KB to stop worrying and move on to the next stage of there development in the spiritual world.
I love the feel of the picture a real modern take on the yin and yang. I hope KB  will get some answers at Glastonbury when they go again. I see a maze / labyrinth, gate, Skull, paradise, Glastonbury, a blue whale, a ring, a necklace, a female goddess and possibly a fish. I also see the whole drawing as a Japanese kimono. 
it gives me a feel of inner peace, and I hope KB likes it as much as me.

Art Work

Have been making pictures, using Photoshop elements, mainly for my own amusement and learning how to use Photoshop. I will hopefully add more to my blog as I go along.

Utopia

So below is the second drawing for GP, which is a first for me, as normally the receiver only gets one picture. However I really love this picture as it is so simple yet has a very profound message. I love that this place is GP's and they can go there anytime they wish and all they have to do is go in there crystal cave to top up. I can see different faces in the tree and know they are relatives or GP's guides. there is a badly drawn sphinx and possibly the gates to heaven. But the loveliest thing in the picture is the white stag, which unlike horses ( a white horse is either a albino or a grey ) is white which brings luck and success for ever if caught or even if seen will bring luck. I have asked GP to buy my lottery tickets from now on.
I know the two picture have gone to someone who will cherish them and understands what the messages mean to them. I would love to be invited to this place, I know mine has castles and unicorns, so what is in yours?

The Seahorse

I got a call from a dear friend (GP) asking for a picture and a reading and this was created on the 27 July 2013. It's amazing the emotions I got when creating the pencil drawing and whilst it was sad, I asked my guides was the drawing correct. I then drew a second picture titled " Utopia" and understood why there was two pictures.
I love the Inuit holding the whale ( it reminded me of the creatures in the film "5th element" when I was creating the drawing). I have learnt a lot about sea horses and did you know the male seahorse carries the baby and not the female! I love the river journey down the Nile past the willow tree ( do willow trees grow in Egypt?) The orange Archangel , the bridge and Mount Fuji in Japan all appear in this picture.
Now if you turn the picture, portrait you will hopefully see a female face or I think it's female, but she is wearing a burka or proper name hijab.
Whilst the message in this picture is sad the second picture balanced the message.

Terracotta Spiral

As well as the inspirations for the paintings, I was inspired to make this 3 spiral in terracotta and using beads. I will say it's very hard to find beads in all the rainbow / chakra colours. The last spiral (top right) is a little out of sequence but I'm happy with my first attempt.

Goddess of the tor

Saw a painting in the Goddess temple shop in Glastonbury and I tried to adapt what I saw to the picture below. I had asked for opinions via face book to see which one look best before settling on this one.

Recharging my batteries

I came back from Cornwall and Glastonbury full of energy and wanting to create. So out came the paint brush and the knife to cut out some more shapes and low and behold my first picture. My guides have explained my new direction and I seem to be enjoying the relaxation I get from it and getting off the PC.I read years ago about artist talking about the light is different in different places and Cornwall demonstrated that, vivid greens and beautiful reds. I know that's me on the Tor at Glastonbury re charging my batteries. We also met a very spiritual woman in Looe called Deborah Tomlinson (check out her website www.holamaise.co.uk ) who had a fantastic, beautiful painting by an artist called Adrian Smith. Check out his website www.tremorranart.com.

Tree inspired by Wells Next to sea

Before our holiday we went to Wells next to Sea to get away from it all for a few hours and found a lovely crystal shop that had opened that day. Anyway the walk through the walks inspired me to create these two pictures. Anyway I cut out the tree on yellow card  and placed it in front of green card, it took me ages and I had to keep hiding it from Karen as I was creating it for her. I used a white piece of paper as a template to cut onto the card, hence the black background one. I love them both

Glastonbury

Sorry for not posting since May but I have major issues again at work, that have taken priority and then me and Karen went off to Glastonbury and then down to Cornwall. To say I fell in love with Glastonbury is an under statement. I loved the walk to the top of the Tor despite taking a very difficult route and the view and energy at the top is unbelievable. I would walk the Tor everyday if I lived there. We spent the next morning at the abbey, which after looking at the price was worth the visit and I felt at one here. After spending the rest of the morning shopping I was taken to the Goddess temple by Karen and it was absolutely fantastic, every town should have one. Glastonbury recharged my artistic batteries.
