At some point, my husband was playing the piano (something he rarely has time to do these days) and I was with my daughter in an adjacent room. She was playing on the floor and I was sitting next to her with a book, a pencil, and a piece of scrap paper.
I started doodling a piece, then Bella became interested in my activity, so we picked up her markers and we drew together. Sometimes she wants us to draw things for her. I would rather she did it, but I indulge her with the agreement that she has to pick the colors. We painted several little images. A couple of them had to do with my next project. Here they are, together with a more advanced stage of the final design (which I did of course on my own time ;)).

A homage to the myths of creation connected to the lotus flower...
Linking up to Manon's Paper Saturday and Tammie's Numen.

Thank you! When Tammie announced the theme of the challenge it seemed to fall at exactly the right time...:)
DeleteYour fortunate daughter has such creative, artistic parents. Wow. Drawing with mom while dad's music is in the background is pretty much perfect in my mind's eye. Your finished drawing is so powerful. The strong stem of the lotus flower reminds me of a very very strong cord from the first chakra. Very grounded. Very solid. I hope this art realizes completion and that I get to see it. Wonderful! Norma, xo
ReplyDeleteHi Norma! I am not sure about our personal talents, but I so hope that Bella will have appreciation for art and music, which we love so much!
DeleteI will show you how the coloring is coming soon...;)
Thank you so much for your kind words and your support! :)
Strong and full of numen! Mother and child, connected to earth, protected by nature.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know how your colouring would be...I know what colours I would choose. Maybe it would be interesting to see the different colours of different artists in one and the same subject. Just like your daughter had her very own idea of it! ;-)
Thank you so much for your comment Tania! Yesterday I worked on the coloring scheme and started working on the woman...and I am already wishing I could start over...but that's my normal panic mode...hopefully, everything will turn our ok. I'll show you soon...;)
Deletedrawing with the piano in back? numen for sure...

And you! Thank you for stopping by! Yeah, I love to draw when my husband is studying a new piece...there is something in the repetition that puts me in right in the zone! :)
DeleteHappy Paper saturdays! What a lovely thought spending time drawing together. Mine are too big now sometimes my son wants me to finish his art projects for school so that that leaves me with all the colouring in and you know what it is much harder then drawing. :) ManonXx
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! Coloring is the the most fun but also the most challenging and frustrating (at times) part! Your son is lucky to have you to help him!
DeleteYour lotus flower woman is a wonderful drawing with the power of Numen all in there, wonderful. Hope your daughter is better now.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you!
