I did two new sketches from out of my husband’s 100+ framed paintings collection and thought you’d enjoy them.

This is my butterfly sketch in progress, because I had no idea that I would finish it yesterday due to all the white dots (so much black to color in), and it did take some time:

Butterfly artwork of Richard’s on the left; my version of the butterfly sketch on paper on the right (in progress). Though I did make a little mistake on the top of the rose, and even laid awake last night thinking of actually cutting some paper and gluing it over the mistake, I’ll leave it alone. –Sheila Murrey
Finished butterfly sketch. I am having fun trying to decide where and when to use the watercolor paints. –Sheila Murrey
Indian chief artwork of Richard’s on the left; my version of the chief sketch on paper on the right. I started this one with the watercolor as I guessed where his face would be–and yes, I had to make some adjustments when I drew over the pencil with the brown marker, so not all of the watercolor got included on his face, though I think it worked. I might go back and add a bit of pink watercolor to the feather, not sure yet.I also now see where I could add more black to the lower left of the sketch. Hmm –Sheila Murrey
Native American Indian Chief sketch. Hubby said I did a good job. And that made my day! –Sheila Murrey

Thankfully, I’m now sleeping a bit better (the shoulder/arm/back pain I have been experiencing is letting up more and more). I am continuing to seek out a good inexpensive comfrey cream. Let me know if you know of a good one.

Breathing in the miracles today…

I’m breathing and repeating my new mantra: “Art communicates more than words, builds new brain neural pathways, and connects us all!”

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. Doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling integrating ride to better health, doing with more ease and less effort-ing, to help us find and sustain the JOY in our lives! (Sprinkling Gratitude all around while we’re at it.)

  2. Oh, you’ve caught the bug now, Sweet Sheila. I can hear the joy and enthusiasm in your voice! I love how you’re experimenting with your materials. Wonderful. I especially like the Indian. Good for you!
