Creative Flow – Clean & Dust

January 22, 2011

While doing some cleaning and dusting, I came across a bag of pretty autumn leaves. I love the colors of autumn. I remember taking these leaves from a beautiful tree. So of course I stopped cleaning and looked for the photos of the tree it came from.

I’m one of those people that look at trees and always see people or some sort of magical creature, so I usually stop and snap a photo, since it’s usually on the road and I don’t get a chance to sketch and explore it until I get home. I find trees fascinating.  Here’s a reference photo:

Well, to make a long story short, I never finished the dusting (the cleaning is ongoing)!  My creative flow took over and I spent the next few days working on this image. Here she is, a dryad, a tree spirit,  I’ve named her “Autumn Leaves”.  Autumn is a part of the “Goddess Series”.

January is an ideal month for getting your office together, since it is after the holidays and everyone seems to be in recovery mode. It also helps that it is (7) seven degrees Fahrenheit outdoors! My creative flow is up 1000%.

Perfect hot chocolate weather, that’s where I am, indoors, warm, snugly, creating and happy!

Define your happiness today.  Always in peace.

    It's much more fun to make a mess than to clean one, isn't it? That is a great tree and a beautiful interpretation of it.

    I share your fascination with the trees…The stories they could tell! As for the dust, the new year brings inspiration to clean, yes, but the weather has been so gorgeous the past few weeks, I've been playing "hooky" from my housekeeping, and out visiting the trees instead! I'm slightly jealous that you'll have a clean studio! :o)

    Beautiful & very potent image. She is a strong character with the fiery hair.
    I love trees as well. Every one is uniquely made and have a lot of life in their lines. That is so wonderful that you were inspired by nature to create such an original piece!! Wonderful work!
