i begin slowly...
simply.
never underestimating
the journey.
the work and flat out dedication
each step will take me.
gorgeous arrivals begin with humble footsteps.
i am believing even black and white
brush stokes on brown paper bags
will find grace,
wings,
substance for dreams long dreamed.
while i paint, head down heart pierced with the
enormity of possibilities
i have been waiting for this...
imagine my complete and utter jOy
to find
my muse, my love
judy wise and "her girl" stephanie lee
offering this
i leaped at the chance
and added my name to the dance card of
visit judy wise
generous, caring, inspired
(each gorgeous image above is from judy )
and
visionary artist, wordsmith
(each gorgeous image below is from stephanie)
for a closer look at becoming
totally plastered.
please tell them i sent you,
for one and only reason...
it is a good thing to know your friends support
your dreams.
and they are just about to give mine wings...
for more jOy
make your way to
to REALLY share the jOy
feel free to link to this post
or reblog it,
imagine...
the
possibilities!

I'll be getting plastered with you. . . PayPal'ed them this morning. I'd already reserved a copy of the book though. But it seems like such a LONG TIME to wait. Oh shit, oh dear. . . I hate waiting.

These paintings are absolutely beautiful! Are the first ones made with plaster or encaustic? I'll have to look up Judy Wise's blog/website to find out. Her portraits are wonderful! And Stephanie's paintings are equally beautiful. I really like the last painting in particular.
Thank you for the links, Rebecca. I'm going to look at their book in a moment. Hope you are having a great day. New York & New Jersey are winter wonderlands this morning. Central Park has 18 inches - oh to be their on cross country skis! Anyway, hope you are having an artfilled day.

A wonder-filled way to get plastered!

...and in fact I just bought some plaster this past weekend. Hope to use it when I come up with something. I love your lady and how she looks, especially her eyes.

Rebecca,
these are exquisite. I am so happy for you dear. May your new dreams take lovely flight and be borne in all the glory you expect of them. Your paintings already show such incredible and passionate promise!
Posted by: Noelle | January 27, 2011 at 10:58 PM
Well, yes, getting plastered with those two would be the best time ever!
Posted by: L Marsh | January 28, 2011 at 02:58 PM
Wow! such beautiful paintings Rebecca! This sound like a lot of fun.
Hope you are well my friend.

There is nothing better than getting your fingers into a long awaited project (or, in my case, a long waiting project). Your crow woman is so fine. I'm thinking that Cinda (who isn't blogging anymore) would have loved seeing this.
