Such an appropriate word for me this week because this entry makes my 100th post!
This blog has served me well in multiple ways this past year. I've found an art community I'm comfortable in and I've made multiple friends. I've shared multiple images and stories. I've used some subjects many times ( Ravens, for example) and I've been given multiple awards by some pretty special blogging friends. The joy in my life has multiplied by being a part of this experience.
Today I've chosen to post "The Spirit Of Raven" because of the multiple times his image appears in the sketch. Also, for those of you who recall my dream series, this represents after the pears were harvested, yet Raven's presence is still known.
Thanks for being with me for the first one hundred posts! I'm looking forward to many, many more.

Hooraaayy for Studio Lolo! Excelent job Laurel, and as always, hope to see more from you soon!
ReplyDeleteLove the scribbly soft textures you got with your pencil crayons. The way you've handled the ravens gives the impression that they're both textile and real. My interpretation leans towards real because the composition has so much movement. You made them dance.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've worked all the ravens into this, beautiful work! And congratulations on your 100th post!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on a 100! I look forward to many 100's more! and it's a beautiful 100th post- great design and pattern and colors- peaceful and energetic all at once. I'm seeing the bowl of pears' shadow as also a shadow of a person's profile- the bowl of pears sprouts from head and birds ceremoniously dance and fly around it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and jubilations... for your 100th post and your beautiful paintings!
