To create the paintings in Secret Woods, I followed the animated mannerisms of my sketch book characters, who directed me on how they wished to be depicted in the worlds where they lived. As my explorations increased, unexpected guides emerged from curious scenes eager to tell their individual stories. </div>

Tim and I began this exciting collaborative project in March 2017. We drew up the schematics to show our creative skills to our families. A few people nearly passed out upon the news.</div>

In the early spring we ventured into the deep woods that lie an hour east of our house. We came upon this magical fern meadow to capture the first signs of the baby showing in my belly. </div>

Throughout the pregnancy, I read three helpful books on how to have a baby naturally; Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, Hypnobirthing and Birthing from Within. Tim read the Birth Partner, and loved it too. We were trying to wash out any bad birth stories that were told to us and reset our beliefs about the "excruciating pain" of childbirth. Turns out, it was more like running a marathon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In any case, I meditated often, ate healthily, and made lots of art that was baby related. This mobile was another collaboration by Tim and I to welcome our little girl to the wondrous world.</div>

We created this belly cast by molding paper mache over my body and when it dried, we sanded and gessoed it. Then I drew up the design and we used a projector to transfer the drawing to the sculpted belly. It is one of my favorite things I have ever made!</div>

I kept an alter to anticipate her arrival and to provide for her safe passage. The candle was lit at home when I meditated to imbue protective intention into its flame. It was the single candle that burned during her birth. The baby shoes were mine as a baby, and the photo of Tim and I at age 17 reminded us of our history together. The spirit quartz and fern leaves welcomed her into our home. <br />

Fernleigh Eva Seymour was born on Christmas day, 2017 at 1:15pm. My little Capricorn! She is definitely THE most beautiful thing I have ever made! (although I couldn't have done it without Tim ;) We labored for 13 hours with my husband, and two midwives present. I watched the snow fall gently on the trees out the window while I gave birth to her in a tub. It was the most mystical experience, and when she and I first fell asleep together on the soft warm bed, I felt the most intense rush of love and bliss that nearly overwhelmed me to sobbing tears. I kept a smile on my face though and we fell asleep, exhausted.<br />

Hello and welcome to my annual E-Art Sale!<br />
<br />
Please send me an email at pattonillustration@gmail.com to inquire about purchasing.<br />
Notice there are two sections in this sale. The first features original drawings and watercolors and the second features framed prints.<br />
<br />
Your art ships within two days of ordering, and a reasonable shipping cost will be added based on the size of the work. Paypal and checks accepted, and payment plans are available. All pieces come as they appear in the photos and all of the images are published at a low resolution to protect people from reproducing the art without my permission. If you are serious about purchasing and would like a high resolution image, I will gladly email you finer examples. Thank you for having a look and happy browsing!<br />

After experiencing the eclipse in Eastern Oregon, I became inspired to paint a memory of it. I began with sketches of dragons, as I kept the Chinese mythology of the dragon eating the sun in mind. </div>

Today, when we witness such an incredible celestial event we are filled with great anticipation and awe. During a full solar eclipse standing in the path of totality, the sun will disappear and the sky goes dark and you know why so many cultures around the world were afraid. For a moment, you wonder what would happen if the sun never returned...</div>

A burst of light appears on the edge of the black sun, it glitters like a diamond as you watch it without your eclipse glasses. For a split second can you look at this beautiful thing before it becomes too bright again. The earth warms up and the stars disappear, waiting to return that evening. We made it through the dark, returned to the light, as if inside a circle.<br />

We left Seattle at 5 am on Sunday, August 20th towards Eastern Oregon to camp near the little town of Mitchell, "gateway" to the Painted Hills. Once there we would find a random camping directly in the center of the path of totality to watch the Great American Eclipse. </div>

There was no cell phone service, as the 10s of 1,000s of eclipse viewers would be consuming the bandwidth and no solid camping reservation. We knew our friends would be out somewhere in the hills, and we were extremely lucky to have found them by dumb luck! Here are a few of our committed eclipse watching members.</div>

August 21st, 9:30am the moon begins to cover the sun and people are all around watching with their glasses! They are being so cute holding each other, sitting in the river, cheering and enjoying the anticipation of the event. There are many little mountains surrounding the area and people are occupying their peaks, like the guy sitting in a chair on top of this mountain. He is tiny in the picture, but if you look closely you'll see him!</div>

The pinhole camera effect. Light travels in a straight line, so if you hold an object with a tiny aparature it projects the inverted image (of the eclipse) onto a shadow. See all the crescent moons?</div>

My camera is not very fancy, but I remember very clearly the light scintillating around the dark shadowy sun, and the black eye of a god peering down on us. When the moon began to reveal the sun again, after a full 2 minutes of darkness and chilling drop in temperature, we were excited to see the light come back. When the beam shone from the corner of the moon it glistened like the most beautiful diamond, and yet you could only look at it for 1 second to keep from going blind. </div>

I have always loved taking photos of my spaces and writing about them, as you will find in the archives of this blog. Today I'm posting this article I wrote to my own blog, as the story is really too long for the Tiny House Talk format. I wanted to share it either way, as the story of Tim and I meeting and building a tiny house is a great one!<br />

<b> <span style="font-size: large;">A Life Less Ordinary</span></b><br />
<b>Couple Reunites and Builds Tiny House </b><br />
<br />
by Kelly Patton<br />
<br />
I have had the ordinary experience of living in small apartments and renting single rooms in the city, but when I moved to the country a whole new lifestyle opened up to me. Out in the hills of Northern California I lived in a school bus, a small shack, a community house unit, a small cabin, and finally a yurt. The little spaces were unique and provided me with much inspiration. Little did I know, however, I was about to reunite with an incredible person who would change my life forever, while showing me how to build and live in one of the most versatile of all small spaces, the tiny house on wheels.<br />
One spring afternoon while living in the yurt, I received a flirtatious letter from a person whom I had thought I’d lost forever, Tim Seymour, my high school sweetheart. We went to different colleges after high school and later went our separate ways, living very different lives. He was checking in with me to see what life was like for Kelly Patton, and I couldn’t have been more elated.<br />

We rekindled our relationship over the phone, and finally agreed to reunite in person. He had been living in Wichita Kansas, working as an engineer building planes and flight instructing. I had been living in the woods as a full time artist and was playing in a local band. We had much to catch up on, so I jokingly suggested that he “Fly his plane out to come and see me.” To my surprise, that is exactly what he did. He flew his family airplane, a single engine Cessna 14 hours over the Rocky Mountains from Kansas to Nevada City, California and we embraced for the first time in 12 years. He confessed he was more wiling to take risks at this point in his life.<br />

Lake Tahoe, the day we reunited for the first time in 12 years<br />
<br />
We agreed to continue our long distance relationship, and very shortly after he was hit by a sudden bolt of inspiration. He must build a tiny house! He had seen them on the internet and was inspired to build his own. After selling his Wichita house, quitting his job, and letting go of his stuff he was beginning to feel a weight lifting from his shoulders. <br />
He moved and settled in his mother’s home in Colorado where a workspace was available, and began the process of building the tiny house. He cleared out a packed garage full of stuff, and borrowed his dad’s tools and purchased a Tumbleweed trailer. Weeks prior he was creating a plan of the house using Sketch-Up, a software program used to map out the measurements and structural details of the project. He created the layout as he saw most comfortable and practical, all considering the weight limits and size of all his appliances, walls, windows, cupboards, electrical systems, plubming etc. I watched it unfold via Skype and went back to Colorado frequently to help him build over the next 4 1/2 months.<br />

With the equity from his Wichita home, Tim was able to build his tiny house with all the amenities he wanted. He recorded his building process through time-lapse instructional videos and published them on his blog, <a href="http://micromansion.blogspot.com/"> micromansion.blogspot.com</a>. When we finished the house and took it on its maiden voyage to a party waiting for us in Denver, I was indescribably nervous to drive it down the highway. After laughing all the way at the shocked faces we passed on the mountain and city roads, we arrived to the party with everything completely in tact. The tiny house on wheels was a mobile mansion, and it never ceased to bring out the best in people who approached it.<br />

We drove it from Colorado to California and parked it just above the hill from the yurt. For a while we lived out of both spaces, enjoying the fresh air on the path between our homes that we endearingly referred to as our “hallway.” The tiny house served as a luxurious addition to our living situation, as we had the pleasure of using a washer dryer combo, a beautiful kitchen, and an additional bed, bathroom and living room for our out of town guests. We also parked our house on Broad St. in downtown Nevada City for the artwalk where we gave tours in conjunction with my art opening. At the event got offers for parking while catching the eyes of architects and interested buyers.<br />

After living in this dreamy manner for 6 months, Tim took a job to become a commercial pilot, a long awaited opportunity. We agreed to move to Seattle, where he would be based for the next stage in our lives with the tiny house. We eloped in June at “the end of the earth” in Port Townsend, Washington.<br />

For our honeymoon, we decided to take the tiny house on an epic RV road trip. We started from Nevada City andtoured many stops up the Hwy 101 coast taking 10 glorious days to travel to the Olympic Peninsula and the place where we were married, Port Townsend. We were anointed with a slight celebrity status as inquiring minds wondered if we were “On TV” or if we had built it ourselves. We could answer yes to one of those questions, and still felt pretty awesome. <br />

Upon finally settling in Seattle, we found ourselves living in a house with our two cats and two roommates. With Tim’s Job and our shared house in the city, the tiny house has been parked in the peninsula serving as a weekend getaway. Tim’s colleague generously offered a parking space at their home in Port Townsend, and as a result of visiting the tiny house often, we have made good friends with their family. We also recently attended the 2017 Tiny House Conference in Portland, and met many amazing pioneers in movement. To our surprise, many of the speakers and owners of tiny houses never moved their homes, and we seemed to be part of a small group who loved to go on the road with ours. <br />

Throughout this journey of owning a tiny house, we have lived so many wonderful experiences and made many new friends along the way. At this point as owners, we are ready to sell the tiny house, as big changes are coming yet again. It will definitely be sad to see it go because it gave us so many amazing experiences, but I know it will help give us more opportunities to grow into a limitless future.<br />

Shortly after joining the SCBWI children's writers group, I received an open call for participants for a fiction group meeting in downtown Seattle. I jumped in head first in to both groups and am now writing two new stories. We gather once every couple of weeks to review each other's writings allowing honest feedback to flow freely. It is tremendously helpful in creating momentum for projects, old or new.<br />
<br />
Writing and illustrating are similar disciplines, and I feel a similar reach towards what is important. I have to make decisions about what to keep and what to discard. Some things look better in my head than they do on paper, but the thing that matters the most is getting the work out so that I can move on to the next...<br />

There may be times that other people feel I am hiding away, and I have to be careful to not get too lost in my own world. The discipline of painting and writing requires as much personal space to breathe as possible. The more time I spend alone, the more I find authenticity in my work. It is the feeling of creating "new ideas" that is exhilarating and extremely rewarding. Spending time with people can be very inspiring and is most necessary for a healthy sense of humor.</div>

I find that the main reason why I create art is to try and better understand myself and all that surrounds me in the world. Joining groups of other creatives teaches me new things and helps me to carefully consider what is important for my vision. It was daunting to begin the process but its was worth it. I'm getting constructive criticism that is hopefully steering me into becoming the best writer that I can be. </div>

I've just opened a Society6 shop and could not be happier with the results! I now have a unique line of original designs on demand for your many decorative and expressive needs. Frolick through a selection of throw pillows, wall clocks, mugs and more! <a href="https://society6.com/kellypattonart">here</a>!<br />
<br />
You are indeed supporting me directly if you buy through this site. Society6 allows me to spend all my time designing in my studio, and zero time spent on printing and shipping. True I take a price cut that way, but I feel that my time might be better spent sketching the next idea. Plus its super awesome to see these designs materializing in so many forms. <br />
<br />

Happy Frolicking!

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">One of my favorite publishers, Wonderella Printed, has kindly <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">featured</span> my sna<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">p shot of their latest zine <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">on th<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">e main page of their website. </span></span></span><i>Fiddler's Green</i> is
a beautifully printed pamphlet revealing "Art & magic for
tea-drinking anarchists, convivial conjurors, and closeted optimists."
Their publication includes esoteric articles, essays and artwork by
friends of the creator of the peculiar parish, Clint Marsh. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the latest issue, and cannot wait for the next!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">
I have been following their publications for nearly a decade, and have
gleaned an immeasurable amount of inspiration from such books as <i>The Museum of Lost Wonder by Jeff Hoke</i>, and <i>The Mentalists Handbook, An Explorer's Guide to Astral, Psychic and Spirit Worlds, by Clint Marsh.</i>
So needless to say I was excited to meet Clint at the Esoteric Book
Conference in Seattle, and am now truly honored to call him a friend. </span><br />

For the last 2 1/2 months I have been painting new watercolors to add to my children's portfolio. I researched other illustrators and society member's blogs to get a better understanding of what to include in a portfolio at this conference. Many years of practicing drawing from life, drawing from imagination, studying watercolor palettes, researching popular images, getting feedback from respected professionals and selling my fine art are giving me a bit more of a feeling of being prepared as a skilled illustrator. But honestly, this conference will provide me with so much more information on how to improve my art, introduce me to people who can point me in the right direction, and their much needed advice and criticism. <br />
I can't wait to report back how it all went! And get ready to paint my @$$ off again!<br />

<br />
I begin up the road, a narrow rocky windiness and with each step up hill I feel more ready to walk for hours if needed. The buzzing sound of wings surrounds me and numerous birds chirp and tweet from the highest tree. Spring is in full pop and the air is still cool enough to want to fall asleep in the sun. My hair warms up, and I can smell its earthiness, I dream of it being long and draping around my neck and shoulders. Walking past the flower bush I sniff the air to catch its fragrant greeting and remember to take a deep breath. I go 20 steps looking around at the shimmering green and candy blues and remind myself to breathe deeply again. Fresh ideas rush through my head, ones of writing and painting, playing music and eating picnics. Yerba Santa sprouts her waxy leaves dripping with medicine, and the purple ceonothus houses thousands of cheerful bees. <br />
<br />
When I walk downhill I notice how my legs have to use different muscles and I point my toe, rolling my heel to walk cat like. As I turn the bend toward the meadow I smile at the thought of approaching my favorite spot. Fairy worlds and wisdom pop into my head while I am surrounded by clover growing under a grand madrone in a lush and dewy sweet spot. Here I ask them for advice, and when I don’t know the answer to the toughest questions they simplify and help me make sense of it all. <br />
<br />
My head swirls with gold leaf as I take in the sight of the harp tree. It is a king standing alone in the meadow, his trunk splits at the center and two strong arms reach up forming the shape of a lyre. He is to become a painting so I see his scaly bark, twisted needles roundly shapes bursting with color, vibration and sound. Whilst intermingling this world of fantasy and reality, I am interrupted by the discomfort and squirming feeling of spider webs wrapping themselves around my ankles. They build in the low grass and my mind shifts from itching and scratching to a feeling of tickling and invigoration. I read somewhere that women used to gather spider webs in their homes to use in their medicines, and perhaps their is something useful in that sinew coming out of the insect. The dew from the leaves brush them off as I walk in the tall grass, conveniently cleansing the blanket of lacy sticky spiders. <br />
<br />
My mind settles back into the space of the yurt as I begin to walk uphill through the tunnel of manzanitas. I’ve seen more foxes on this road than anywhere in my life. They live in the thickets of dense low growing trees and burrow in holes in the soft soil near rocks in the meadow. The ghost of my cat always runs at my heals on this path, as we used to walk it together a few years back. The yurt appears in view, the turreted bedroom on stilts and golden cedar porch glitter from the dancing shade of the oak trees. Little memories live everywhere and my heart pounds at a healthy pace. Back up on the porch I look out across the forest where I can see past several hundred feet of trees, and am ready to get back to my hibiscus tea, painting ermines and listening to cello music.

I came across wild stag beetles in Germany. As I handled them and observed them walking on an oak tree, I fell in love with the delicate animal. Their giant horn-like mandibles are not strong and sharp enough to take off a finger, as one might think. In fact they are very gentle and use their mandible to remove other beetles who are invading their territory on the tree. They just pick each other up and throw one another, its pretty funny actually.<br />

Many, many hours later the painting is done. It usually takes me days to do a piece like this. I am working in such detail that I need to take breaks to come back and look at the painting as a whole. Things that need to be fixed or touched up are more obvious when your head isn't spinning from staring for hours at a picture. </div>

I am used to just winging it when it comes to painting, but this time I
tried a more controlled approach. My vision was of a fox spinning gold inside his winter home, where he could feel warm and cozy. Here's the process behind the painting, "The Golden Thread" -- a sequence of photos taken for your wonderings. I left little notes here and there about what mediums I am using and what the heck I'm doin' drawing with crystals. Never a dull moment out here in the woods. </div>

Here I am transferring the pencil drawing onto the watercolor paper. I lay tracing paper over the final drawing, ink it and flip it over where I coat the tracing paper in graphite. I flip it graphite side down onto the watercolor paper and begin to trace over my lines with a crystal wand. The wand is comfortable to hold and rolls over the lines smoothly.</div>

I wanted to get the most luminosity from the watercolors as possible, so I had to plan ahead with the color scheme in photoshop first. This took away some fear because I was playing with colors that I had not yet worked with. It turned out to be really a fun process.</div>

You will be
greeted by rooms that echo a happy and fulfilled life of an artist who
has always loved life in the woods. She is a vibrant and courageous
single mother, enthusiastic and full of gratitude for her children and
her home. Although she relishes her quiet mornings huddled by the fire
withe a cup of coffee, a smoke and a notebook, her days are spent
actively helping others. She is friend to many people and creatures
alike.<br />

She is a wild woman with a loving heart full of random magical stories
of exotic travels. You can step into the wild forests of India or be
part of a hand made puppet show. Relics of travels through Mexico are
arranged among the crystal altars that surround her studio. Dried
flowers, framed portraits, instruments, collage furniture, patterned
rugs mirrors and windows gather around her own creations. Life is art,
art is life.<br />

Debbie's
daughter, Belle Star, is much like her mother; a very strong and
beautifully talented woman. The two have a close relationship and I
have
always felt much warmth and love during gatherings in their homes. They
compliment each other in both art and cooking. Visiting Debbie, we
enjoy expertly cooked and lavishly
seasoned meals both delicious and nourishing. She is well educated
about herbs and grows her own culinary and medicinally mystic garden.
This kitchen is a kind of ultra glorious studio where her love for herbs
and food are assembled. <br />

Debbie is currently loving her newest body of work, a series
of acrylic paintings that were created using bursts of blown breath to
move pigment. Her thoughts were deep with the drought and fires that
consumed the Sierras and moved into the time we are now grateful for,
the rains. Her abstract paintings are full of life and infinite
stories. Her studio is bathed in sunlight inside her home that was
built from the trees that stood on the land. She tells me she loves to
greet her newest creations in the morning. "They are my babies"<br />

I
asked Debbie how living in the woods has positively impacted her life
and her art. She responded "It's so peaceful and quiet. I grew up in
the woods. Since I was little I knew that I always wanted to live in
the woods and to have my own children and a studio to make art. Now I
have all of those things. It is incredible and wonderful to know that
you can manifest what you want, you just have to know what you want"<br />

I've
noticed a pattern in many people who know what they want and often
exercise the meaning of life in a simple way. For those who are still
searching for their dreams, a walk through a tunnel of trees is a kind
of hallway to follow those dreams. Taking a long look at the sky and
the land around a meadow is an open book of stories. An exposure to the
natural environment can reveal magic that is happening all around, and
has the potential to breathe life into our incredible and short lives.<br />
<br />
Many thanks and gratitude to the fantastic Debbie Dean.

I did a lot of research in how to make the book great, and that involved talking to other people. I had a classic concept in mind, and knew that I wanted very small children and adults to enjoy it together. This character Moon Bunny came to me, and he was grateful to be alive. So I just listened to the fun stuff he liked to do, and drew him acting them out. Then I took the writing skills I have been developing and threw rhyming words to the actions. That was the easy part.<br />

Act 2: Revealing the Book, asking for Criticism; I asked multiple people to read the text, look at the pictures and give me reviews. This took years of attending SCBWI conferences, Press Expos, festivals, and sharing with people who were in the publishing industry. I turned this idea of Moon Bunny into a 12 page calendar postcard set and vended to my friends and family. They got back to me years later with stories of how their grandchildren, children, and even aging parents cherished the little cards and wanted to know what Moon Bunny was up to next. This is where things get juicy. Getting feedback from people who love your work is fuel for the fire. And bookstores would buy Moon Bunny postcard packs, but more and more they wanted a book. </div>

Act 3: Reformatting; I spent another year or so reformatting Moon Bunny
to make him into a 32 page picture book, and having researched layout,
cover design, copy editing, etc..the book came to be. I had a Create
Space account on Amazon, and ordered my first proof for quality
checking. I received more help from people who filmed promo videos and
took photographs for the release of Moon Bunny. And once the final copy
had been approved, I informed my social media platforms that something
exciting was coming their way.<br />

Act 4: Selling and Sharing; People bought my book and left awesome reviews on amazon. The ball was beginning to roll. Since I have trouble distributing the book on a mass scale, I still rely on expos, festivals street fairs and craft shows to sell. So while I'm working on becoming a bestseller for children's books ;) , for now I enjoy the faces of the people who buy my book, hearing a class of kindergartners laughing at my pictures and getting letters from little kids. It is something I get to enjoy for as long as I live. And the book is forever in my family and eternally on the web. And I'm sure I left out many other details about this process, but my main point is to give people inspiration to go for it themselves. Happy researching and follow your heart!<br />

This post is about all the wonderful things I discovered about the constellation Lyra so read on! (This is a taste of what sparks the interest for my paintings, what could be a story behind the mysterious stars? .)<br />

In Greek mythology, Lyra was associated with the myth of Orpheus, the musician who was killed by the Bacchantes. After his death, his lyre was thrown into the river; Zeus sent an eagle to retrieve the lyre, and ordered both of them to be placed in the sky. There are actually a zillion different versions of the Orpheus story, most seeming to point towards one god being jealous of another's gift. I appreciate only the symbolism of the instrument, and how the contemplation of music and the constellations can transform the spirit.<br />

The brightest star in this small constellation is Vega, which is also the fifth brightest star in the night sky. It is a beautiful blue/white star, look for this star in the very early evening in June – high overhead on autumn evenings – in the northwestern quadrant of the sky on December evenings. Vega is a huge star 2 1/2 times the size of our sun, and is millions of years older. There are stars, nebulae and galaxies within the constellation captured by Hubble.<br />

His love for randomness can be seen by observing the scattered
re-purposed art that decorates his barn studio. He gives meaningless
objects a new life and makes them into sculptures. Frivolous art is a sign of enjoyment, and brilliance! He is indeed seeking
something vast and loves to go on quests, even if its just a trip walking through
town.<br />

I love wearing his clothes, I often feel like myself in the style of hideous
fashion, and can satisfy the bohemian weirdo in me. Somehow nobody
stops me and tells me I look like I am walking around wearing what
resulted in an explosion from my grandmother's closet. And if they did, I would thank them for the high compliment. Find his original designs <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LordvonSchmitt">here</a>.<br />

I begin this by making a free hand sketch of an owl using a colored pencil on arches hot press paper. I use Daniel Smith watercolor paints, and do several washes, and add layers over dried washes. A lot of my work is detailed, and I draw colors and lines with my brush. Then I paint around the owl with Designa Size, a sticky glue used for applying gold leaf. The gold leaf goes on after 15 minutes of applying the size, then I gently tap the leaf and lift it off with a soft brush. The final layers are details using FW liquid acrylics, gouache, sennelier inks and tiny gemeralds. This painting took many days to complete, as I kept it propped up in my studio where I could decide what it needed and could take the time to add to it until it was complete. </div>

bedroom and onto the deck where I blindly feel for the door handle to
enter the dark yurt. I immediately reach for the light switch and walk
across the cold floor to the sink where I fill my glass in a somnabulant
state. After gulping down refreshing water, I walk back outside to my
bed in the little dome. I see the moon glowing silently on the
horizon, and I frequently remember my dreams after greeting this eerie
bright light rising from behind the trees. <br />
<br />
In the morning I
heat water for tea. My tiny furry kitty Falena, aka “dainty monkey”
greets me as she prances swiftly from the cat door to her food dish. I
rush to put on my clothes, I have to hurry out the door to greet a new
friend today. I swiftly dart out the door and Falena follows me to the car as
usual, curious as to where I disappear to in my travel pod. Driving
down the hill, I can see the revitalizing view of the mountains.
Colors are bright, the landscape presents a crisp and detailed panorama
of slow creeping clouds and dancing yellow spears of pine and madrone
trees. My heart fills with joy as I behold the land the morning after a
fresh rain. <br />
<br />
Driving fast on the windy road, I embrace the
hypnotic pulse of light from the tree shadows hitting my windshield,
chiming to the beat of my music. As I pass through the country side
admiring the glorious view, I come to a stop where I see a huge
grandfather tree smashed and blocking the highway. I gasp and wonder how
powerful the winds must have been, and take in for a moment the weight
of the huge beast lying across the road. I turn the wheel, now warm
from the sun, towards my destination where a new art patron awaits my
arrival.<br />
<br />
We meet at a little restaurant in the country, and
while sipping our coffees at the European style tables, share our love
for the plant kingdom. We have a very interesting conversation, one
where you can understand where the other is coming from, on a very
specific level. Such a unique conversation, you feel like it is a story
being written or a new idea being born. He is anxious to be the new owner of my oil painting, "Two Bird Tribe". It is still morning and my
coffee is jolting through my system. I don’t normally drink coffee,
except when I’m socializing, which gets me really excited. I go into
the room and gaze upon my oil painting. Its eyes meet mine again, and I
look into their beings as if I am seeing them in a new light. They
almost seem to give me a high five, and I thank them for visiting my
dreams. I am filled with gratuity for having met a new friend and
patron who adors my art and feels a similar affinity for the characters
in the pictures that I paint. I remember the moon on the horizon, and
the delicate state of dreams and their significance. Nature is always
guiding me with beacons of light, and still moments of darkness,
signaling my need to paint. I can still smell the morning rain on the
grass, and am filled with delight that my day is just beginning.<br />
