Wicked Wednesday Halloween

I am so happy to have discovered the world of ATCs!  It's even cooler when you get to share your work with so many talented and creative people.  Since I've joined Wicked Wednesday, I was hooked.  I look forward to seeing other people's submissions and checking out their awesome sites.

This is my submission for the second Wicked Wednesday challenge: Halloween!  I was inspired by the design team's little heart monster.  Scary but cute :)

Let's see what happens this week.  Until then, be well
Peace and love,

Trying something new...

Flower girl

The one medium that I am most uncomfortable with is watercolor or any derivation of it.  I see it, I run.  But if I keep doing that, I will never know my potential with this medium.  So I started small.  The flowers are in watercolor and the rest is pencil.
One of my best friends was actually my source of inspiration for this one.  She recently hi-lighted her hair blue and I can't wait to see it!
Well, I can't say I'm comfortable with watercolor, but I'm going to incorporate it more often into my work.  Practice, practice, practice...speaking of which, I'm going to switch over to music mode now.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Peace and love,
Mary xoxo

Daydreaming...

Sea of Love

Sometimes my drawings take on a life of their own.  I can't really say what my source of inspiration was for this piece.  But, I am totally in love with the color palette and the way her hair turned out.  I hope you like it just as much as I do.

Have a wonderful weekend everybody!
Peace and love,

Firefly

Once again I found my inspiration from lyrics penned by Sal.  He uses words to create a landscape in your mind's eye.  Lucky for me, it's currently posted on his site so you can have a listen.  Click on "Sal's music".  See what kind of picture is created in your mind's canvas.

La Belleza

I'm back!  It's been a while since I've posted work on this site.  I've been working on other projects.

My creativity is in OVERDRIVE and I am totally enjoying it!
This piece was inspired by "The Day Before", a song that my guitar instructor wrote.  Usually it's the lyrics that are the source of my inspiration; but this is not the case this time.
The song is upbeat with a latin flair.  Everytime I listen to it, all I can see is a beautiful flamenco dancer that's swirling furiously in my mind's eye.
Thanks for being a continued source of inspiration Sal!

I'm loving life!
Love and peace,
Mary xoxo
