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.

Four Sections

This picture was created on the 27th April 2013 for KB and whilst it could be called the tree, I choose 4 sections because the picture is really in 3 sections. It's very hard to draw and do a reading that you know so well as you wonder if you have influenced the drawing and the reading with what you know of the person. Sometimes when I draw the pencil drawing there is hardly any change when I put the ink over the pencil sketch and this is one of those drawings. It's a very positive drawing with messages for KB which they have received in there private reading. I love the fact the picture is not what you think you see, this is a good case to turn the picture round to see other images, that may hold a truer meaning that what you think you thought you saw, if that makes sense. I can see so many faces, the lovely chakra, spiritual colours, the peaceful cliffs with the rope bridge. There are a lot of symbols and a few animals. Its the only picture I've drawn so far where I keep seeing new things in it, when I turn the picture or see different light fall on it.The tree with the green man, the different faces, the arms extended. I feel it holds a lot of Pagan and Wicca messages and I hope KB will enjoy the picture as much as I did painting it.

The Lions Door

This picture was created for LH and was created on the 31st March 2013. It's really amazing as I saw a lot of faces in the pencil drawing that didn't appear when I inked it in, hence why i like to look at the picture after I have rubbed all the pencil marks out. I love the picture simply as there doesn't seem to be an specific answer. For example is the door open or closed, is there glass in the door or not? I love the Lions head he seems happy and content as does the wise old Bull elephant on the right side of the picture. There is a lot of connections in this picture and I have explained my findings to LH. I love the cat, the palm tree the video machines. I was always taught it may seem daft to you but may have a specific meaning to the person the reading is for. I love the no face (Angel) and the girl's face that was so determined to come through. I wish we had 3D printers because there is so much going on behind the images. There is a place name in the picture which I have not used before and I discovered a connection with that image and the cross in the circle. I love the spider and the colours of the picture, but then again I say that about most of the pictures I have drawn. Well it's now gone to it's owner and they have emailed me to say they love it.

The Albatross

I was asked by DP for a picture and this was drawn on the 4th March and a reading was done 12 days later. There is so much in this picture. A lot of animals, a badly drawn pheasant, and albatross, badger, a hare and a walrus. It's amazing that I see a car but turn the picture over and I see a steampunk. Google it, if you don't know what I'm on about. I love the female head but there are two others. I also love the nun. A lot of humour is in the picture and I love the boat, but turn it round and you will see a carpet inside a tent. Love the colours in this picture. Love the feel of this picture, every thing seems to connect o other parts of the picture. I love the little dice and what does the number represents. How ever I love the headless Hare hidden behind the colouefull shield or is it a shield. Anyway hopefully DP will like it.

Denzil

This is Denzil who sadly passed away last month and I was instructed by my guides to paint this beautiful cat. I couldn't get the lovely eyes right. He has now been delivered to his owner and I hope they enjoy him as a painting as much as they did in real life. Sketched on the 26th February 2013 and redone on the 27th in watercolour.
